Agentic artificial intelligence security startup Mycroft Technologies Inc. launched today and announced that it has raised $3.5 million in funding to accelerate product development and expand its AI-powered security and compliance operations.

Founded in 2024, Mycroft offers an AI-native cybersecurity and compliance platform that has been built to deliver end-to-end protection and regulatory oversight through autonomous agents. The company is aiming to eliminate the fragmented, manual and checklist-driven processes common in traditional security stacks by offering a unified, continuously operating system that handles everything from device security to audit readiness.

Mycroft’s agentic AI model includes AI agents that automatically monitor, remediate and enforce security and privacy policies across an organization’s entire infrastructure. The company brings together previously disparate tools, such as endpoint protection, vulnerability scanners and policy engines into one platform that connects to systems already in place, monitors in real time, analyzes risks and triggers fixes or alerts as needed.

The agentic AI solution acts like a security and compliance officer, continuously monitoring cloud infrastructure, securing devices, enforcing policies and managing incidents, while also preparing companies for audits, all from one interface.

Under the hood, no-code AI agents handle complex tasks automatically, adapting to each company’s environment. The result is what Mycroft describes as a virtual chief information security officer, governance, risk and compliance expert and information technology ops team rolled into one.

“Our goal is to give every company access to enterprise-grade security without needing a massive security team,” said co-founder and Chief Executive Mike Kim. “Mycroft’s AI agents don’t just automate tasks, they elevate the way teams operate, helping them move faster and stay protected from day one.”

While only formally launching out of stealth today, Mycroft already had more than 50 customers, including Superwhisper Inc., CoVet Inc., Unified Inc., Willful Inc., Wisedocs AI Inc. and Weave Communication Inc.

The funding round was led by Luge Capital LP, with Brightspark Ventures LP, Graphite Ventures and existing investors Ripple Venture LP, Developer Capital, Antler Global Ltd., BoxOne Ventures Ltd. and strategic angel investors also participating.

“Security and compliance have evolved from manual back-office functions to front-line priorities that can shape customer experiences and brand reputation,” said Karim Gillani, general partner at Luge Capital. “Mycroft’s AI Security and Compliance Officer is the teammate that every company needs in order to stay safe.”
