Atlas Beyond Ventures is pleased to announce that the SMBC Fin Atlas Beyond Fund — a U.S.-focused corporate venture capital fund launched in collaboration with Fin Capital — has invested in Cymphony, an AI governance and security platform that gives enterprises visibility and control over how employees and AI agents access sensitive data, interact with critical systems, and create new risks across the organization.
AI is transforming the enterprise workforce. Alongside human employees, organizations now rely on AI agents that access company systems, interact with sensitive data, and take autonomous actions every day — often reaching far beyond what individual employees typically access. Security teams must manage the resulting risks across identity, access, data, and activity, yet the tools they rely on were built for a human-only workforce and provide only a fragmented view of this new operating model.
Cymphony addresses these challenges through a unified AI governance and security platform built for the modern workforce. Cymphony continuously maps every AI agent and employee across the enterprise, showing what systems they can access, what sensitive data they interact with, and how their activity creates risk. By combining AI, data, identity, and behaviour signals into a single graph, the platform understands the business context behind every action — not just whether it violates a policy — then prioritizes the risks that matter most, recommends or automates remediation where possible, and coordinates the remaining work to completion.
Cymphony's approach brings together information that has traditionally been distributed across identity and access management, data security, security operations, and other enterprise systems. This unified view enables organizations to prioritize risks with greater context, reduce fragmented investigations, and take more informed remediation actions across their entire workforce of employees and AI agents.
The financial services industry has a particularly strong need for comprehensive and context-aware workforce security and AI governance. Banks and other regulated institutions operate in environments where employees, third parties, and increasingly AI agents interact with sensitive customer’s data, transactions, and proprietary information across a growing number of applications and collaboration platforms. At the same time, the adoption of generative AI and AI agents is creating new questions around data exposure, access rights, accountability, and oversight. Greater visibility into workforce activity, access, and data interactions — can help institutions innovate while maintaining the security, governance, and operational resilience expected in a highly regulated environment.
“We are excited to partner with the SMBC Fin Atlas Beyond Fund as we build the security and governance layer for the new enterprise workforce,” said Shy Dekel, Co-Founder and CEO of Cymphony. “AI agents are becoming active participants in the business, and security teams need to know what they can access, what data they touch, and how they interact with employees before they can secure them. Cymphony gives organizations that visibility and control, so they can adopt AI without losing control of their data. We believe SMBC and Fin Capital bring valuable financial-services expertise, regulatory perspective, and global reach as we continue supporting large enterprises.”
“Cymphony is addressing a critical and increasingly complex security challenge as AI agents join employees at the center of enterprise operations,” added Logan Allin, Founder and Managing Partner at Fin Capital, and Investment Committee Member of the SMBC Fin Atlas Beyond Fund. “The platform connects AI, SaaS, data, and identity signals that have historically been managed in silos, helping enterprises see how every employee and AI agent reaches sensitive data and prioritize the risks that matter most. We believe Cymphony has built a differentiated foundation for helping organizations strengthen security while adopting AI with confidence.”

Atlas Beyond Ventures is pleased to announce that the SMBC Fin Atlas Beyond Fund — a U.S.-focused corporate venture capital fund launched in collaboration with Fin Capital — has invested in Blee, an AI-first marketing compliance platform building the content governance layer for the enterprise.
As AI-generated content becomes increasingly embedded in enterprise workflows, organizations require governance infrastructure that enables innovation while maintaining compliance, regulatory oversight, and brand integrity. Content governance is emerging as a critical component of responsible AI adoption across regulated industries.
Blee addresses this challenge by working alongside the content creation tools marketing teams already use. Its platform applies AI to provide real-time feedback across regulatory, compliance, legal, brand, and company-specific requirements before materials reach formal review. Blee also supports the full pre-publication workflow, including submission, review, approval, comment cycles, version history, and audit trails. After publication, the platform continuously monitors content, including websites, digital channels, and influencer social media, for regulatory and brand adherence.
For regulated enterprises, content governance is becoming an increasingly important component of responsible AI adoption. Financial institutions and other large organizations must manage growing volumes of marketing, product, and sales content while maintaining clear standards for disclosures, customer protection, recordkeeping, internal policies, and regulatory compliance. Blee’s platform has the potential to help marketing teams move faster while providing legal and compliance teams with stronger visibility, consistency, and defensible audit trails.
“As AI-generated content grows across channels, enterprises need governance infrastructure that can keep pace,” said Guy Shahar, Founder and CEO of Blee. “Blee brings marketing, legal, and compliance teams into a unified workflow, helping organizations move faster while maintaining the accuracy, transparency, and accountability expected by customers and regulators. We value the industry insight and global perspective that SMBC and Fin Capital bring, and look forward to exchanging perspectives and exploring opportunities to collaborate as we expand our platform.”
“Blee is building the governance layer enterprises need as AI transforms how content is created and distributed,” added Matthew Mann, General Partner at Fin Capital and Investment Committee Member of the SMBC Fin Atlas Beyond Fund. “By embedding compliance intelligence directly into existing workflows, Blee enables marketing teams to move faster while giving legal and compliance teams the control, consistency, and auditability required at enterprise scale.”
