What it is

What It Does

Transcend is a data privacy and governance platform aimed at engineering and legal teams handling GDPR, CCPA, and other global privacy laws. It handles data subject requests, consent management, data mapping, and data inventory across a company’s systems. It connects natively to cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and a range of SaaS systems including Salesforce, Google Analytics, and several recruiting tools.

What We Found

Transcend was founded in 2017 by Ben Brook (CEO) and Mike Farrell (CTO) and is based in San Francisco. Public reporting puts total funding near $90M, including a $25M Series A (2020, led by Index Ventures and Accel) and a $40M Series B (2022, led by StepStone Group). It positions itself toward enterprise privacy engineering rather than law-firm workflows.

Who It’s For

This is a privacy-operations tool for in-house legal, privacy, and engineering teams at companies that process consumer data at volume. It is not built for law-firm practice workflows.
