AIceberg

AIceberg is a New York-based company founded in 2022 by Alex Schlager, who also serves as CEO. The company specializes in AI trust, safety, security, and compliance, offering a platform that functions as an AI firewall and gateway for enterprises and government entities.

In March 2025, AIceberg announced it had secured $10 million in a seed funding round led by SYN Ventures and Sprout & Oak. Sprout & Oak also provided early incubation support. The company's mission is to enable organizations to adopt generative and agentic AI technologies safely by making their AI systems transparent, explainable, and compliant. Its platform monitors AI traffic, including text, speech, images, and code, in real-time to detect and mitigate risks.

The core of AIceberg's technology is its use of purpose-built, non-generative models to analyze and safeguard AI systems, which contrasts with using LLMs to protect other LLMs. This approach provides auditable and transparent risk management from start to finish. Key features of the AIceberg platform include real-time threat detection for cybersecurity vectors like prompt injection and data leaks, automated policy enforcement, and guardrails to prevent the generation of unsuitable or illegal content. It also offers observability across all AI interactions, allowing clients to analyze usage patterns and gain business intelligence. The platform, which includes a product named OGMA, is designed to serve regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and government, where auditability and transparency are critical.
