AirMDR, a leader in AI-native Managed Detection and Response (MDR), announced the company has closed a $15.5 million seed round that will fuel investment in research and development of the company’s flagship technology and increase the efficacy and expertise of AI Analysts. A new $10.5 million infusion investment has been added to an initial $5 million seed round that will be used to scale Sales and Marketing efforts to bring the benefits of AI SOC to enterprise and SMB organizations – a sector that’s sharply underserved by current MDR offerings, as well as managed security services providers (MSSPs).
The round was led by Race Capital with full participation from AirMDR’s earlier backers Foundation Capital and Storm Ventures. This round of capital will further accelerate strong market demand for AirMDR’s AI SOC offering.
AirMDR is led by a team with a very strong DNA in Detection and Response. Before co founding AirMDR, Kumar co-founded Sumo Logic (first cloud-based SIEM), and worked with Fortune 500 SOCs at companies like ArcSight (first generation SIEM leader) and LogicHub (Security Automation). AirMDR CTO Srikant Vissamsetti has co-founded companies like Intruvert (Network Detection and Response) and Attivo (Identity Detection and Response).
Traditional MDRs often fall short in SMB environments, struggling with slow response times and high-quality alert handling. AirMDR solves this with a powerful AI analyst that autonomously triages 100% of alerts in real time. AirMDR’s 24/7 SOC team of expert human analysts then reviews, validates and improves upon the work of the AI Analyst, adding a critical second layer of defense.
AirMDR’s AI analysts offer quality, speed, and affordability. They communicate in plain English, answer questions, learn continuously, and execute tasks with precision. AirMDR’s automated playbooks can quickly investigate, triage, respond, and contain threats in minutes. Every step is documented, substantiated, and processed with full transparency for comprehensive remediation and learning. With 200+ out-of-the-box integrations and the ability to quickly add new ones, AirMDR supports 100% of your security stack.
Beyond its technology platform, AirMDR’s appeal is that it’s also delivered as a fully managed service. Customers gain the full benefit of AI-driven speed and precision, along with white-glove onboarding, curated integrations, and expert oversight from seasoned security analysts. This combination delivers both the efficiency of automation and the reassurance of human judgment, all as part of a unified, always-on solution.
AirMDR will be debuting the platform at Black Hat 2025, booth # 6425. To schedule a briefing, please visit: https://airmdr.com/events and scroll to Schedule a Demo.
