Enterprise artificial intelligence platform startup Unframe Inc. today announced that it has raised $50 million in new funding to expand delivery capacity, invest further in its platform and build out senior leadership.
The company also said it has crossed $100 million in total contract value within 12 months of its formal launch, with what it described as 400% net revenue retention across its customer base.
Founded in 2024 by Chief Executive Shay Levi, Larissa Schneider and Adi Azarya, Unframe sells what it calls a managed AI delivery platform. Levi is a co-founder of application programming interface security startup Noname Security Inc., which Akamai Technologies Inc. acquired in 2024 for $450 million. The company launched publicly in April 2025 with a $50 million seed round and described itself then as already booking millions in annual recurring revenue.
Unframe’s pitch is aimed at a specific enterprise problem. Generative AI budgets have been committed and pilots have launched across most large companies, but industry surveys from McKinsey & Co., Gartner Inc. and others consistently show the majority of those projects stall before reaching production. Integration work, data readiness and governance are the usual choke points.
The company’s platform, called The Framery, plugs into a customer’s existing systems and data and is designed to get a working AI deployment up and running in days. Customers can run it in their own cloud, on their own infrastructure, or as a hosted service and it is not tied to any one large language model.
“Every enterprise we speak with has a backlog of high-impact AI use cases and almost nothing in production,” Levi said in a statement. “We built Unframe to close the gap between ambition and execution.”
Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Larissa Schneider said the growth follows a repeatable pattern in which a customer brings a single operational bottleneck to Unframe, sees a tailored solution deployed in days and then expands the engagement across additional use cases. That land-and-expand motion drives the 400% net revenue retention figure, she said.
The global consultancy Credera, a unit of Omnicom Group Inc., is among the firms working with Unframe. “Scaling AI requires a smart build, buy, or borrow approach. For us, Unframe provides a clear buy path, with reusable foundations that drastically shorten the road to impact,” said Phillip Lockhard, partner and chief digital officer at Credera.
The new round was led by Highland Europe, with participation from existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners LP, Craft Ventures, TLV Partners Ltd., Third Point Ventures LP, Cerca Partners and Vintage Investment Partners. Including the new round, Unframe has raised $100 million to date.
Jacob Bernstein, a principal at Highland Europe, said customer references drove the firm’s decision to lead. “Moving from idea to something that actually works in production is where most initiatives stall. Unframe is closing that gap,” he added.
