AiStrike, a cybersecurity company pioneering AI-native, preemptive cyber defense, has secured $7 million in Seed funding led by Blumberg Capital, with participation from Runtime Ventures, Oregon Venture Fund, and strategic angel investors. The capital will accelerate the development and scaling of its agentic AI platform, which shifts security operations from reactive alert processing to continuous, exposure-driven prevention.
Traditional security operations remain reactive despite heavy investment in tools. SIEM-centric environments generate overwhelming alert volumes, leading to analyst fatigue, high costs, and limited risk reduction. Newer “AI SOC” solutions often apply AI narrowly to triage or investigation without addressing upstream noise or detection gaps.
AiStrike re-architects security operations around preemptive defense. Its agentic AI continuously analyzes exposure, improves detections, hunts threats, prioritizes real risk, and drives preventive action—reducing exposure proactively rather than reacting to alerts.
“The traditional security operating model no longer works in a world of AI-driven threats,” said Nitin Agale, Founder and CEO of AiStrike. “AiStrike was built to enable preemptive cyber defense, continuously reducing exposure without adding tools, headcount, or black-box services. This funding accelerates our ability to deliver that operating model at scale to enterprises and government organizations.”
Across more than 5 million investigations in the past year, AiStrike customers have achieved substantial gains:
“When we relied on MDR, our team spent most of its time chasing false positives and justifying costs,” said Varun Singhal, Director of Information Security at Sunrun. “With AiStrike, only alerts that truly matter reach our team. We’ve cut costs in half, improved coverage, and gained a single place to investigate and respond. For the first time, our security operations feel proactive and future-ready.”
AiStrike connects directly to alert sources and edge systems for federated AI analytics, detecting, investigating, responding, and preventing threats at the source without centralizing all data in a SIEM. This reduces latency, lowers costs, and eliminates operational overhead associated with rigid architectures.
Through Agentic Cyber Defense as a Service, AiStrike continuously operates, tunes, and optimizes AI defense agents—allowing customers to focus on outcomes rather than managing tools or services.
“What stood out to us about AiStrike was the team’s deep, first-hand experience building and scaling modern SOC platforms, and their clear vision for why current models are breaking,” said Pramod Gosavi, Sr. Principal at Blumberg Capital. “Instead of layering AI onto fragmented workflows, AiStrike is re-architecting security operations around preemptive, exposure-driven defense. This represents a structural shift in how security operations will be built and delivered.”
