Decube, a Malaysia-headquartered data trust and context platform for enterprise AI, has announced raising $3 million in a funding round anchored by Taiwania Hive Ventures and backed by Iterative and 500 Global.
The latest fundraise brings the startup’s total funding to $5 million, per the announcement.
The startup said it will use the fresh funds to support its global growth, product development, and expansion across the Asia-Pacific region, where companies try to move AI from experimentation to production using data they can trust.
Decube said many enterprises have modern data platforms, warehouses, and pipelines but lack a unified way to explain what their data mean, where it comes from, how it changes, and whether it should be trusted.
“Decube was founded on a simple insight: enterprises can’t scale AI without a trusted context layer across their data,” founder and CEO Jatin Solanki said, adding that businesses are racing to deploy AI but often lack the foundations that make it reliable.
