Ekaya
The Governed Data Access Interface Inside the Customer Boundary
Ekaya builds the governed data access interface that helps AI implementers ship production workflows inside the customer data boundary.
Company focus
Built for implementers who already have the agent, but need the data path approved.
Ekaya turns enterprise data access into governed Projects: attached datasources, an agent-shaped governed data model, deterministic DDR, approval gates, and audit evidence that can run inside the customer boundary.
Damon Danieli
Damon is building Ekaya around a practical implementation problem: enterprise AI workflows need governed Projects, attached datasources, an approved data model, deterministic data controls, and audit evidence inside the customer boundary.
Prior to Ekaya, Damon was the original designer of Xbox Live, where he created marquee features including voice chat, friends, and notifications. He later founded product and data companies including Z2Live and Appuri, then served as VP at DocuSign supporting ML/AI strategy.
He holds an MS in Computer Science and a BSEE from the University of Washington, is the author of over 20 patents, and co-authored "C++ Language Algorithms for Digital Signal Processing" (Prentice-Hall 1999).
Mucker Capital
Mucker Capital supports Ekaya with seed-stage capital and company-building guidance for startups outside Silicon Valley.
For Ekaya, that support goes toward turning the manifesto into a narrow production interface for design partners: governed data model, customer-boundary deployment, DDR, approvals, and audit evidence.
