Generative artificial intelligence security startup Portal26 Inc. today announced a new AI Value Realization solution aimed at helping enterprises close the widening gap between heavy generative AI investment and weak returns.
The AI Value Realization module has been designed to address what the company calls one of the biggest unanswered challenges in enterprise AI today: how to improve the unacceptably low returns on AI investments. Portal26 argues that in the absence of a systematic path to return on investment, organizations have been struggling to turn the chaos of generative AI usage into a coherent corporate strategy that pays off for the business.
Portal26’s Value Realization solution is a strategic intelligence module that helps organizations make rapid, evidence-based decisions about generative AI investments and programs at large scale.
Using the module, customers see dramatic improvements in proof of concept to production outcomes, AI utilization metrics, business impact and cost. The module also assists with improvements in agent design, rollouts, user education and policy enforcement.
“Companies everywhere are struggling to balance the intense pressure to adopt generative AI with the lack of return,” said Chief Generative AI and Product Officer Pakshi Rajan. “Our AI Value Realization module is the only solution that allows the organization to proactively build AI-powered use cases with pre-determined impact and competitive advantage.”
With the addition of AI Value Realization, Portal26 now offers support for all three key pillars of enterprise generative AI adoption: shadow AI through the Portal26 Shadow AI Discovery engine, AI security through Portal26 GenAI Security, and now AI Value Realization. It includes license intelligence and strategy that provides decision support for investment, cost management, agentic development and ROI across the enterprise
“Portal26 receives continuous granular signals from across the enterprise and analyzes them for demand, cost, productivity and impact on an ongoing basis,” said Chief Executive Arti Raman. “This allows Portal26 to not only predict high-impact use cases at any given time but also support that with the full package of how these should be built and deployed.”
Portal26 is a venture capital-backed startup that has raised $15 million over two rounds, including $9 million in November. Investors in the company include Refinery, Shasta Ventures LP and Fusion Fund.
