Airrived Raises $6.1M in Seed Funding for Agentic AI Platform in Dublin, CA

There is a moment in every security leader’s career when the dashboards keep blinking, the alerts keep piling up, and the organization realizes the problem is not a lack of tools. It is a lack of intelligence that can actually think. Airrived Inc. did not wander into that moment by accident. It was built inside it, with scars, receipts, and a clear sense that enterprise security needed less theater and more cognition.

Airrived just came out of stealth with a $6.1M seed round, and the number matters less than the intent behind it. Cannage Capital led the round, with Shelley Zhuang backing a thesis that agentic intelligence belongs at the operating layer, not bolted on like a novelty. Plug and Play Ventures, Rebellion Ventures, and Inner Loop Capital joined in, alongside angels Manoj Apte, Mahendra Ramsinghani, and Saqib E. Awan. That is not a casual syndicate. That is a group that has watched security teams drown in tools and decided to fund something that actually swims.

The product is called Agentic OS, which is a quiet flex if you understand what an operating system really does. Airrived is not selling another scripted automation or brittle playbook. This is an agentic-first platform that lets enterprises fine-tune large language models, compose deep-reasoning agents, and orchestrate intelligence across security, IT, and business operations without turning every customer into an AI research lab. 200+ integrations at launch, from Splunk and CrowdStrike to Palo Alto Networks, Wiz, AWS, GCP, Azure, Snowflake, and ServiceNow, signal a design choice rooted in reality, not fantasy.

The results are already loud. A Fortune 150 insurance company saw firewall policy changes move 90% faster, configuration errors drop 3x, and rules propagate in real time across hybrid environments. Add deployments at a global bank, a major telecom infrastructure company, and one of the largest fast-casual restaurant chains in the country, and the pattern sharpens. When intelligence arrives on time, operations stop tripping over themselves.

This story starts, as many credible ones do, with repetition and mastery. Anurag Gurtu, Co-Founder & CEO, is on his 7th startup and his 3rd GenAI company, carrying forward lessons from building the industry’s first security co-pilot at StrikeReady and shipping products at Cisco, FireEye, Splunk, and AISERA. Ajay Singh, Co-Founder & CTO, brings the builder’s mindset, grounding the vision in systems that actually run. Tony Zirnoon, CBO, rounds out the leadership with a sales and partnerships lens sharpened over 25+ years in cybersecurity. Congratulations to Anurag Gurtu and Ajay Singh, and to the entire Airrived team, for turning experience into execution.

Airrived reads like a verb for a reason. Agentic intelligence is no longer waiting in the terminal. It has arrived in the core of the enterprise, correlating signals across silos, applying context, and taking action while humans focus on judgment instead of whack-a-mole. Built for visionaries. Trusted by leaders. The enterprises adopting this are not chasing hype. They are buying back time, reducing risk, and finally letting machines do the parts of the job machines should have been doing all along.
