We are thrilled to announce that we have raised a $13M Seed Round for AegisAI Security. This is a significant milestone for our company and a testament to the hard work of our incredible team.
This journey started from a simple observation from our combined decade of experience at Google: enterprise email defenses are falling behind. While we were protecting billions of users, we saw firsthand the growing sophistication of AI-powered attacks and how existing email security solutions are struggling to keep up. This leaves businesses and their security leaders without the tools they need to effectively defend their organizations in this new era of threats.
Our mission at AegisAI Security is clear: to build intelligent, adaptive systems that can learn and evolve as fast as the threats they are facing. We are not just building another email security product; we are reimagining what email security can be. We are customizing large language models to detect and respond to the full spectrum of known and emerging email threats—from zero-day phishing to highly targeted social engineering. Our vision is to create a future where communication is inherently safe, and trust can be scaled. Every inbox deserves real-time, AI-powered protection, and we are here to deliver on that promise. That's email secured.
We are honored to be backed by some of the best in the business. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our lead investors, Eric Wolford at Accel and Sid Trivedi at Foundation Capital. They are joined by a phenomenal group of operators, including Sanjay Beri, Tarun Thakur, David Reilly, Jess Leroy, Chris Finlayson, Matt Muller, Gordon Chaffee, Soups Ranjan, Anshu Sharma, Dan Petty, Ian Cohen, Bam Azizi, Arjun Mukherjee, Zack Tembi, Dustin Kirkland, Kim Lewandowski, Jason Zhang, Eric Jang, Raymond Wang, John Turner, Amol Kabe, Wei W., and Lin Luo.
Finally, we want to express our deepest gratitude to our amazing customers, our dedicated team (Madison Hall, Anukul Sangwan, Badr Salmi, Yogesh Eshwar), and the countless contributors who have supported us along the way. Your trust, hard work, and ideas have been instrumental in every milestone we have reached. We could not have done it without you.
