DUBLIN, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 3, 2026--
Airrived today announced its launch from stealth, backed by $6.1 million in seed funding, to bring agentic AI to the core of enterprise cybersecurity, IT, and business operations. The round was led by Cannage Capital, with participation from Plug and Play Ventures, Rebellion Ventures, and Inner Loop Capital, alongside strategic investments from cybersecurity veterans Manoj Apte, Mahendra Ramsinghani, and Saqib E.

Enterprises today are constrained by fragmented agentic AI point products and legacy platforms with bolt-on AI. Intelligence is fragmented, AI is shallow, and only a handful of specialists can make it work. What’s left is AI that summarizes instead of deciding, automation that collapses under real-world complexity, and humans forced to act as the glue stitching systems together to connect workflows, make decisions, and drive outcomes.
Airrived was built to eliminate that fragmentation entirely.
Introducing the Agentic OS
Airrived introduces the Agentic OS—a new operating layer that makes agentic intelligence native to the enterprise, not bolted on as an afterthought. Rather than delivering AI as features, copilots, or scripted automation, Airrived enables organizations to fine-tune LLMs, compose deep-reasoning agents, and orchestrate intelligence across systems, all without requiring AI expertise.
The platform unifies and operationalizes critical enterprise domains—including SOC, GRC, IAM, vulnerability management, IT, and business operations—within a single agentic system designed to reason end-to-end, take action across tools, and continuously improve over time.
This is why enterprises don’t just deploy Airrived. They standardize on it.
Investor Perspective
“Airrived stood out because of its agentic-first architecture,” said Shelley Jhuang, Founder and Managing Partner at Cannage Capital. “This isn’t automation or scripted playbooks—it’s a composable agentic platform designed to scale across use cases. We are honored to back the mission-driven Airrived founders as they enable enterprises to build intelligent automation across security and IT.”
“What I like about Airrived is that it’s built for the day-to-day reality of security teams—fewer handoffs, fewer errors, and faster execution,” said Amit Patel, Partner at Plug and Play Ventures. “That’s how you reduce operational overhead while improving outcomes.”
From Shallow AI to Enterprise Intelligence
While most enterprise AI initiatives remain limited to pilots, dashboards, or summarization-driven copilots, Airrived is purpose-built for production, governance, and scale. By collapsing fragmented agentic tools into a single operating system for intelligence—and removing dependence on scarce AI specialists—Airrived enables enterprises to move beyond AI that observes toward systems that reason, decide, and act autonomously.
“Enterprises don’t need more tools or surface-level AI,” said Anurag Gurtu, Co-Founder and CEO of Airrived. “They need a new foundation. Airrived represents arrival—the moment agentic intelligence becomes native to the enterprise. This funding validates our belief that agentic AI isn’t the future of security and IT; it’s the era we’re defining now.”
Recognition and Momentum
Airrived has been recognized as a Gartner Tech Innovator in Agentic AI, a Security Today CyberSecured Award winner, and a BIG Innovator in Agentic AI, underscoring its leadership in shaping the next generation of enterprise AI platforms.
In addition to industry recognition, Airrived is deployed across many leading enterprises, including a Fortune 150 insurance company, one of the largest fast-casual restaurant chains, a global bank, and a major telecom infrastructure company. These early deployments validate Airrived’s ability to operate at enterprise scale and support complex, high-volume environments where reliability, governance, and speed are critical.
By positioning agentic intelligence as an operating system—not a feature, Airrived is setting a new standard for how enterprises design, deploy, and scale AI across their most critical operations.
About Airrived
Airrived is the company behind the Agentic OS, redefining how enterprises run cybersecurity, IT, and business operations in the agentic era. Built for visionaries and trusted by leaders, Airrived empowers organizations to orchestrate intelligence at scale—ending the era of experimental, bolt-on enterprise AI.
The agentic era has ARRIVED.
AIRRIVED.

Airrived Emerges from Stealth with $6.1M to Introduce the Agentic OS, Defining the Agentic Era for Enterprise Security and IT
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia fired around 450 long-range drones and 70 missiles of various types at Ukraine in a major attack overnight, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday.
The barrage came as NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte visited Kyiv in a show of support and a day before Russia and Ukraine were due to attend U.S.-brokered talks in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on ending the all-out war, which Russia launched nearly four years ago.
The bombardment of at least five regions of Ukraine specifically took aim at the power grid, Zelenskyy said, as part of Moscow’s ongoing campaign to deny civilians light, heating and running water amid the coldest winter in years. At least 10 people were wounded, officials said.
“Taking advantage of the coldest days of winter to terrorize people is more important to Russia than diplomacy,” Zelenskyy said. Temperatures in Kyiv fell to minus 20 degrees Celsius (minus 4 Fahrenheit) during the night and stood at minus 16 C (minus 3 F) on Tuesday.
He urged allies to send more air defense supplies and bring “maximum pressure” to bear on Russia to end its full-scale invasion, which began on Feb. 24, 2022.
Officials have described recent talks between Moscow and Kyiv delegations as constructive. But after a year of efforts, the Trump administration is still searching for a breakthrough on key issues such as who keeps the Ukrainian land that Russia’s army has occupied, and a comprehensive settlement appears distant. The Abu Dhabi talks were scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.
Rutte addressed the Ukrainian parliament during his visit and said that countries in the military alliance "are ready to provide support quickly and consistently” as peace efforts drag on.
Since last summer, NATO members have provided 75% of all missiles supplied to the front, and 90% of those used for Ukraine's air defense, he said.
European countries, fearing Moscow's ambitions, see their own future security as being on the line in Ukraine.
“Be assured that NATO stands with Ukraine and is ready to do so for years to come," Rutte said. “Your security is our security. Your peace is our peace. And it must be lasting.”
A Kremlin official said last week that Russia had agreed to halt strikes on Kyiv for a week until Feb. 1 because of the frigid temperatures, following a personal request from U.S. President Donald Trump to Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, the bitter cold is continuing and so are Russia’s aerial attacks.
Russia has tried to wear down Ukrainians’ appetite for the fight by creating hardship for the civilian population living in dark, freezing homes.
It has tried to wreck Ukraine’s electricity network, targeting substations, transformers, turbines and generators at power plants. Ukraine’s largest private power company, DTEK, said that the overnight attack hit its thermal power plants in the ninth major assault since October.
In Kyiv, officials said that five people were wounded in the strikes that damaged and set fire to residential buildings, a kindergarten and a gas station in various parts of the capital, according to the State Emergency Service.
By early morning, 1,170 apartment buildings in the capital were without heating, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. That set back desperate repair operations that had restored power to all but 80 apartment buildings, he said.
Russia also struck Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region, where injuries were reported, and the southern Odesa region.
The attack also damaged the Hall of Fame at the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War, at the foot of the Motherland Monument in Kyiv, Ukrainian Culture Minister Tetiana Berezhna said.
“It is symbolic and cynical at the same time: the aggressor state strikes a place of memory about the fight against aggression in the 20th century, repeating crimes in the 21st,” Berezhna said.
