Lakera AI (laker.ai)

Executive Summary

Lakera AI (almost certainly the intended company behind the submitted domain "laker.ai") is a Zurich-based GenAI security company that built a real-time LLM protection platform — Lakera Guard — and a viral adversarial training engine called Gandalf. The market thesis is compelling and well-timed: the AI TRiSM space is growing at 21.6% CAGR from a $2.34B base, and Lakera's claims — $30M raised, 1M+ Gandalf users, Dropbox and Microsoft as named customers, 50M+ proprietary threat data points — are almost entirely verified by independent sources. The single biggest fact an investor must reckon with: Lakera is no longer an independent company. Check Point Software Technologies (NASDAQ: CHKP) completed the acquisition in late 2025, making any equity investment in Lakera as a standalone entity structurally impossible. This report is therefore most useful for understanding Lakera as a comparable exit, assessing the GenAI security category broadly, or evaluating Check Point's AI security capabilities post-acquisition.
