About Reken
Reken is a San Francisco AI cybersecurity company founded in January 2024 by Shuman Ghosemajumder (CEO; formerly founded Google Trust & Safety product and later Shape Security / F5 Head of AI) and Rich Griffiths (COO; former Shape Security VP Product) that builds on-device AI to make internet communications safer against scams, fraud and deepfakes. Its Reken Private Core runs proprietary models and telemetry on commodity devices without GPUs or extra token costs, keeping communication data private on-device; products on the Core form a Reken Network trust layer that analyses inbound messages for malicious behaviour. The first app, Northstar (Early Access), is a just-in-time AI assistant that helps employees spot social engineering, deepfakes, business-email compromise and AI-enabled fraud without relying solely on phishing training. After a $10 million oversubscribed seed in 2024 led by Greycroft and FPV Ventures, with Firebolt, Fika, Omega, Homebrew, JAZZ and angels including Google-connected investors, Reken emerged from stealth in July 2026 to launch Private Core and Northstar.
