Security startup Mave raises $28M to let AI investigate cyberattacks

Mave, a security startup founded in 2025, has raised a $28 million Series A round to build AI that investigates cyberattacks. The round was led by Red Dot Capital Partners. With an earlier $6 million seed round, the company has now raised $34 million in total.

What happened

Lumir Growth Partners also joined the Series A. The seed round was led by Dell Technologies Capital and Emerge Ventures. Mave says it will use the money to speed up its AI research, strengthen its products for large companies and expand internationally. It also plans to more than double its team, hiring mainly in sales and AI research.

The founders are CEO Raziel Oren and CTO Guy Eshel. Both served in Unit 8200, an Israeli intelligence unit. Oren previously led go-to-market work at Wing Security. Eshel was the first employee at Alterya and later its head of research and development before Chainalysis bought it.

The problem it targets

Large organizations often run dozens of security tools. When something goes wrong, the clues are spread across them. Security staff have to jump between systems and piece the story together by hand, sometimes while an attacker is still active.

Older systems that collect security data in one place, known as SIEMs, give only part of the picture. Details such as who owns a system, which user is involved and what is happening right now often sit elsewhere.

How Mave says it works

Mave connects to the tools a company already uses, without copying that data into a new storage system. It asks each tool for information, combines the answers and builds one account of what happened.

• It says it checks every alert within minutes and filters out false alarms.
• It says it can spot active attack campaigns.
• It can take approved actions, under rules the security team sets.
• It keeps a record of its queries, decisions and actions.

What the company claims

Mave says it works with Fortune 50 companies and global managed security providers, and helps protect hundreds of customers. It also says it is used in regulated finance and healthcare settings. In its telling, the tool has helped stop live attacks by isolating systems, disabling compromised accounts and blocking harmful activity before a breach.

On business results, Mave says it is closing seven-figure deals and that its annual recurring revenue has grown more than 400% in six months.

What is not known yet

These figures and results come from the company. The material does not include independent testing, customer names or details on how often the AI gets an investigation wrong. For a business owner, the practical question is how well such a tool works with the security products already in place, and how much control a human keeps over its actions.
