The mission of Opaque Systems is to unlock the high-growth market of confidential computing by creating the first Confidential AI platform. It enables secure, collaborative analytics and the usage of AI on confidential and sensitive data stored in Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs).

Opaque was born out of the UC Berkeley RISELab, by Professor Raluca Ada Popa, Dr. Rishabh Poddar, Professor Wenting Zheng, Chester Leung, and Professor Ion Stoica (founder and chairman of Databricks), who created, incubated and open-sourced the breakthrough invention, MC2. The success of MC2 drove the team to start Opaque Systems – and pioneer the first-ever Confidential AI solution for multi-party and inter-company collaborative analytics.
