Hymalaia Raises $1M Seed Round to Bring Secure, Governed AI Agents to the Enterprise
Paris, April 14, 2026
Hymalaia, the Agentic AI platform designed for secure enterprise deployment, today announced the closing of a $1 million seed financing round led by Akka, with participation from BNP We Are Innovation, and BPI France.
As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, they face a growing challenge: how to unlock value from AI while maintaining control over data, decisions, and compliance.
While many teams already rely on public LLMs to boost productivity, this usage often remains fragmented, ungoverned, and exposed to significant security, regulatory, and operational risks - including unstable model behaviour and unpredictable pricing.
Hymalaia addresses this gap by enabling organisations to deploy AI agents within a controlled, enterprise-grade environment - ensuring that AI usage remains secure, auditable, explainable, and compliant from day one - with full transparency into underlying reasoning and decision-making.
“As enterprises move from experimenting with AI to deploying it at scale, governance, security and operational control becomes mission-critical. We believe Hymalaia is uniquely positioned to address this need with a platform that enables companies to deploy AI agents securely, connect them to internal systems, and create real business value,” said Thomas Rebaud, Co-founder Akka and Diffusely (ex-Meero)
The platform connects to internal systems and data sources, allowing AI agents to reason, generate insights, support decision-making, and execute workflows across the organisation - without exposing sensitive data to external models.
Grégoire Maréchal, Head of Customer Success at ZenChef explains how they are using Hymalaia to accelerate their client onboarding process: “Since connecting AI agents to Notion, Slack, and Zendesk, the impact has been clear. Our teams stopped searching and now get grounded answers instantly from our actual data. Support and onboarding have accelerated significantly, with fewer errors and faster responses to customers.”
This approach is particularly critical in the context of increasing regulatory pressure, including the EU AI Act, which requires companies to implement strict governance, transparency, and risk management frameworks for AI systems.
“This is not just about adopting AI - it’s about deploying it responsibly,” said Matthieu Michaud, CEO of Hymalaia. “Without control, companies expose themselves to security, compliance, and cost risks. Our mission is to enable them to scale AI securely.”
The new funding will support Hymalaia's next phase of growth, accelerating commercial expansion and further developing its platform to meet the needs of regulated and data-sensitive industries.
