AI enablement and control platform Runlayer has raised $30 million in a Series A funding round that brings the total raised by the company to $42 million.
Founded in 2025, New York-based Runlayer offers a platform that functions as a secure control layer for AI tools across enterprise environments.
The solution monitors AI access and usage, allowing employees to build agents, use them across enterprise systems, and delegate work to agents.
It delivers the tools, permissions, and company context needed for control, enabling agent management from a single control plane that covers identity, permissions, and policy enforcement, while delivering real-time visibility into actions.
According to Runlayer, its platform can also identify and block prompt injections, tool poisoning, data exfiltration, output manipulation, intent drift, shadow MCPs, and unmanaged agents, to block risks and direct employees towards approved tooling.
Runlayer’s new investment round was led by Felicis, with additional support from Khosla Ventures. The company will use the funds to expand its engineering and go-to-market teams.
The startup emerged from stealth in November 2025 and has already been adopted by Fortune 500s and high-growth companies.
“AI-maximalist companies already understand the future is not a handful of power users experimenting with agents, but entire workforces operating alongside them. The challenge is that most companies still do not have a secure, scalable way to make that possible. That is the problem Runlayer exists to solve,” said Runlayer co-founder and CEO Andrew Berman.
