AI-native managed detection and response (MDR) startup AirMDR has announced raising $15.5 million in a funding round that combines seed and infusion investments.
The funding round was led by Race Capital, with additional support from earlier investors Foundation Capital and Storm Ventures.
Founded in 2023, Menlo Park, California-based AirMDR has developed an MDR solution that can be used by both enterprises and SMBs.
The company’s AI analyst autonomously triages security alerts in real time, while its human experts review and validate the findings, for an extra layer of defense.
AirMDR provides automated playbooks to investigate and respond to threats, while the AI analysts can respond to questions and execute tasks with precision, while constantly learning. All operations are documented for full transparency.
The company also provides a fully managed service.
AirMDR will use the new funding to accelerate its R&D efforts, improve its AI analysts, and scale its sales and marketing team.
“Our mission at AirMDR is to bring Fortune 500 quality SOC to every enterprise at an affordable price. We are running in production across multiple enterprises. Our hybrid model, combining AI Analysts with a 24×7 team of expert human analysts, provides a second layer of defense that best meets the needs of MDR buyers,” AirMDR CEO Kumar Saurabh said.
