New Investment Aimed at Scaling Sales and Marketing Efforts to Meet Demand for AI SOC as a Service
MENLO PARK, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–July 9, 2025–
AirMDR, a leader in AI-native Managed Detection and Response (MDR), announced the company has closed a $15.5 million seed round that will fuel investment in research and development of the company’s flagship technology and increase the efficacy and expertise of AI Analysts. A new $10.5 million infusion investment has been added to an initial $5 million seed round that will be used to scale Sales and Marketing efforts to bring the benefits of AI SOC to enterprise and SMB organizations – a sector that’s sharply underserved by current MDR offerings, as well as managed security services providers (MSSPs).
The round was led by Race Capital with full participation from AirMDR’s earlier backers Foundation Capital and Storm Ventures. This round of capital will further accelerate strong market demand for AirMDR’s AI SOC offering, which has been recognized this week for its depth of innovation by the 2025 Black Hat Startup Spotlight Competition.
Hans Gustavson, CISO of Workato, said: “AirMDR has significantly accelerated our time to value-we were able to quickly integrate with our systems and deploy automation playbooks with minimal overhead. Today, AirMDR is triaging nearly 80% of our security findings, allowing our SOC team to stay focused on the most critical threats. Beyond the technology, the AirMDR team has been an outstanding partner-responsive to our needs and quick to deliver new connectors and enhancements that align with our security objectives.”
