“$64M Series A as the first clear agentic AI security pure-play to receive major institutional backing”

“AI-native security solutions protecting against various risks... raised $64 million from Marathon Management Partners, Citi Ventures, Illuminate Financial, and Workday Ventures.”

“The CEO is Ankur Shah.”

“AI being applied to security (Straiker), hedge fund analytics (Linq), sleep medicine (Ognomy), SMB growth (Pie), robotics (CarbonSix), and drone intelligence (StirlingX) — suggesting the horizontal AI layer is now being absorbed into deep vertical plays.”

“Straiker…Raised $64M Series A for enterprise AI agent vulnerability testing... Investors included Citi Ventures, Workday Ventures, Bain, Lightspeed”

“The institutional depth of the syndicate — including enterprise software insiders — suggests this is not a niche bet but an anticipated category requirement as enterprises deploy autonomous AI agents at scale”
