NEW YORK, March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Inpher, Inc., the pioneers of Secret Computing^®, today announced a strategic investment from the Amazon Alexa Fund. Inpher plans to apply the funds to accelerate its go-to-market activities and to bring its privacy-preserving machine learning capabilities to connected devices and IoT services. Inpher's existing investors include JPMorgan Chase & Co, Crosslink Capital, Bowery Capital and Alpana Ventures.

The demand for Secret Computing^®has grown with the proliferation of AI.
