It is the latest in a long line of exits by Spintop companies to international technology leaders, following acquisitions by Cisco, Synopsys, Bentley Systems, Zynga, Klarna and Cadence, and, less than a year ago, Aveva (Schneider Electric)’s acquisition of Crosser Technologies.
Copado, the leader in AI-powered AgentOps for business applications, announced today that it has acquired Valo.ai, the AI-powered security and operational intelligence platform for Salesforce environments. Copado governs how change reaches production; Valo.ai governs what happens once it is live, from connected apps and dormant integrations to excessive permissions and unused accounts. Together, a foundation for governing AI agents in the enterprise.
Valo.ai was founded in 2023 by Jari Salomaa and Mika Ståhlberg, Salesforce and security veterans. At Salesforce, Jari was behind Salesforce Shield, Event Monitoring and Security Health Check. Mika was CTO of F-Secure after running F-Secure Labs, and launched F-Secure’s Cloud Protection for Salesforce on the AppExchange. In under three years they turned that experience into a product Salesforce administrators can deploy with minimal setup, and that surfaces risks the ecosystem had no good way to see.
Our thesis: the Salesforce ecosystem needed an independent intelligence layer for security and operations. Jari, Mika and the team built it, customers validated it, and Copado is the natural home to scale it globally.
Congratulations to everyone involved, on both sides of the table!
