The collaboration brings together the investment strategies and business-building expertise of Brentwood Ventures with the Sertainty-developed breakthrough self-protecting data technology.
Brentwood, TN – OCT 2025 – Brentwood Ventures and Sertainty today announced a strategic alliance that unites the growth-focused business acceleration expertise of Brentwood Ventures with the patented, self-protecting data technology from Sertainty. The collaboration marks a significant milestone for both organizations as they work together to deliver distinctive business solutions to various markets that require productivity gains and file-level, zero-trust developer tools.
Brentwood Ventures, a Nashville-based growth-focused business acceleration firm, partners with high-potential companies to accelerate innovation and market growth. Sertainty, a leader in implementing zero-trust principles at the file level, empowers organizations to better secure and monetize information by embedding intelligence and controls directly into files. Together, the two companies are aligning their resources to meet the growing demand for resilient, compliance-ready data privacy solutions from enterprises and governments. Together, they aim to resolve chronic problems without compromising efficiency and productivity.
“Our alliance represents a powerful convergence of innovation, investment, and leadership,” said Scott Nelson, Founding Partner of Brentwood Ventures. “By combining our business-building experience with the Sertainty data-centric technology, we are positioning both organizations for sustained growth and leadership in this data-driven business climate. We are working together collaboratively to build category-defining solutions so that organizations can de-risk monetization of their data.”
The two organizations will collaborate to address critical needs across regulated sectors, including banking, healthcare, aerospace, mortgage, and real estate, where leaders aim to modernize and achieve productivity gains without compromising security, compliance, and privacy.
Dan Fischer, Sr. Executive Vice President of Sertainty, added, “Our relationship with Brentwood Ventures reflects a shared vision; empowering businesses to both protect and monetize valuable information with innovative new technology without disrupting the processes that are working. Together, we’re building business solutions for enterprises to not only monetize their data throughout the data supply chain, but also throughout its life cycle.”
Brentwood Ventures and Sertainty are actively exploring additional collaborative opportunities that will extend their reach and introduce new joint initiatives in the coming months. These opportunities could include further technological developments, expansion into new markets, or the introduction of new products and services. A subsequent announcement is expected later this year.
