Israeli cybersecurity startup Mave has announced $34 million in total funding to develop its artificial intelligence platform and expand its international presence.
The financing includes a $28 million Series A round led by Red Dot Capital Partners, with participation from Lumir Growth Partners, alongside an earlier $6 million seed round led by Dell Technologies Capital and Emerge Ventures. The company announced the funding on 22 October 2026 as it emerged from stealth.
Connecting existing security tools
Mave’s platform is designed to help businesses investigate potential attacks by working across the cybersecurity systems they already use.
Its AI agents gather information from connected tools, investigate suspicious activity and help security teams determine how to respond. The company aims to reduce the manual work involved in piecing together evidence scattered across different systems.
According to Mave, the platform also supports threat hunting and the development of detection rules, with response actions governed by security teams’ policies.
Building trust in AI investigations
Founded in 2025 by chief executive Raziel Oren and chief technology officer Guy Eshel, Mave is targeting organisations facing growing pressure from AI-enabled cyber threats.
Oren told Business Insider that hiring more analysts alone would not resolve the challenge. The company’s approach emphasises transparency, allowing human teams to examine the steps its agents take during investigations and oversee their actions.
Funding to support research and global growth
Mave says its technology is already operating in more than 200 security operations centres, including deployments involving large enterprises and managed security service providers.
The new capital will support further AI research, improvements to its enterprise platform and expansion into additional markets.
The company also plans to more than double its workforce, with recruitment focused on AI research and commercial roles, according to CTech. Its Israeli development centre will remain central to that growth.
