Airrived, a cybersecurity and IT automation start-up focused on agentic AI, has emerged from stealth mode with $6.1m in seed funding.
The company announced it has raised $6.1m in seed funding, with the round led by Cannage Capital. Participation came from Plug and Play Ventures, Rebellion Ventures and Inner Loop Capital, alongside strategic investments from cybersecurity veterans Manoj Apte, Mahendra Ramsinghani and Saqib E. Awan.
Founded to address what it sees as deep structural weaknesses in enterprise AI adoption, Airrived is positioning its platform as an alternative to fragmented point solutions and legacy systems that rely on bolted-on automation. The company argues that many existing tools deliver shallow AI capabilities that focus on summarisation rather than decision-making, leaving human teams to manually connect workflows and manage operational complexity.
At the centre of Airrived’s proposition is what it calls the Agentic OS, a new operating layer designed to make agentic intelligence native to the enterprise. Rather than offering copilots or scripted automation, the platform enables organisations to fine-tune large language models, build deep-reasoning agents and orchestrate intelligence across multiple systems without requiring in-house AI specialists. The system brings together functions spanning security operations centres, governance, risk and compliance, identity and access management, vulnerability management, IT and wider business operations within a single agentic framework.
The newly raised capital will be used to accelerate product development, scale deployments across large enterprises and further build out the Agentic OS as a foundational layer for enterprise intelligence. Airrived also plans to expand its go-to-market efforts as demand grows for AI systems that can operate in production environments with governance and reliability built in from the outset.
In addition to its funding announcement, the company highlighted growing market traction and external validation. Airrived has been recognised as a Gartner Tech Innovator in Agentic AI, a Security Today CyberSecured Award winner and a BIG Innovator in Agentic AI. It is already deployed across several large organisations, including a Fortune 150 insurance group, a major fast-casual restaurant chain, a global bank and a telecom infrastructure provider.
Airrived co-founder and CEO Anurag Gurtu said the company was created to move enterprises beyond experimental AI projects. “Enterprises don’t need more tools or surface-level AI. They need a new foundation. Airrived represents arrival—the moment agentic intelligence becomes native to the enterprise. This funding validates our belief that agentic AI isn’t the future of security and IT; it’s the era we’re defining now.”
