Most of Mirato’s employees are expected to join Sayari, which currently employs about 330 people and has raised approximately $240 million since its founding.
Both companies operate in the field of risk management, with complementary capabilities. Mirato’s platform aggregates data from risk managers, supplier documentation, and external information sources, performing analysis and cross-referencing across these inputs to build a unified risk profile.
Mirato was founded by Aki Eldar, who serves as CEO, and Etai Hochman. Eldar previously co-founded Secure Islands, which was acquired by Microsoft in 2015. Hochman co-founded the digital insurance company At-Bay. Since its launch, Mirato has raised $9 million from investors including Grove Ventures, Janvest, American Express Ventures, and iAngels.
“The future of risk management demands a holistic, interconnected view of every entity within an organization’s ecosystem and how those entities operate alone and as part of broader networks,” said Farley Mesko, CEO of Sayari. “We believe these entities are the atomic units of risk, and with Mirato, we are not just expanding our capabilities; we are building toward setting a new standard for integrated risk intelligence and creating a true system of action for our clients.”
Mesko added that the two companies’ combined strengths lie in their data breadth and analytical depth, with Sayari’s database covering over 8.6 billion records across more than 250 jurisdictions. He emphasized that by integrating this data with “agentic AI,” clients will gain unprecedented clarity and control over third-party and supply chain risks.

The addition of Mirato’s technology to Sayari’s solution will assist risk professionals with augmented intelligence, where autonomous systems proactively identify anomalies and execute pre-approved responses, while human experts maintain oversight, validate insights, and intervene in ambiguous scenarios. This approach ensures that AI augments, rather than replaces, the critical judgment of analysts, fostering adaptive learning and refining risk models based on real-world outcomes.
“Joining forces with Sayari is the natural evolution for Mirato. Our shared values, vision and commitment to solving complex risk challenges with cutting-edge technology will enable us to deliver even greater value to our customers,” said Eldar. “The combination of Sayari’s comprehensive entity data and graph technology with our AI solutions will empower organizations to move beyond fragmented data, improve efficiency and embrace a future where the ability to better understand risk is a source of competitive advantage.”
