Raven Emerges From Stealth With $20 Million in Funding

"In an era where AI tools can identify and exploit vulnerabilities at unprecedented scale and speed, organizations can no longer rely solely on signatures or on CVEs published after the fact. We founded RAVEN.IO to enable organizations to precisely prevent attacks and to truly understand, in real time, what is happening inside their applications, without compromising performance or business continuity."

"By analyzing code behavior within the running application, the platform can stop exploits and malicious code, preventing cyberattacks in real time even if no known vulnerabilities exist. The platform also uncovers AI agents running in production, monitors them to uncover risky behavior, and can block unsafe actions, while providing security teams with visibility into agents' owners, code changes, and authors."

Raven, founded in 2023 by Israeli cyber intelligence veterans, has secured $20 million in combined seed and post-seed funding led by Norwest and Elron Ventures. The Palo Alto-based cybersecurity startup protects cloud-native applications by observing runtime behavior to detect anomalous activity and block exploits in real time, even without known vulnerabilities. The platform analyzes code behavior within running applications and provides visibility into AI agents operating in production, monitoring for risky behavior and unsafe actions. Raven will use the funding to accelerate product development, expand research and engineering teams, and scale go-to-market efforts. The company addresses the challenge that organizations can no longer rely solely on vulnerability signatures or published CVEs.
