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
Iran fired missiles at Israel and some Gulf nations while explosions could be heard around Tehran and the central Iranian city of Isfahan on Friday, as the United States prepared to further reinforce its already significant military forces in the Middle East.
As the war that began Feb. 28 was to enter its sixth week, Israel, Bahrain, Kuwait warned about incoming missile fire, although it was unclear if anything was struck. Activists reported strikes around Tehran and the central city of Isfahan but it wasn’t immediately clear what was hit.
Iran’s attacks on Gulf region energy infrastructure and its tight grip on the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas transits in peacetime, has sent oil prices skyrocketing.
Oil prices surged while Asian financial markets rose moderately during cautious trading. Benchmark U.S. crude rose 11.4% to $111.54 a barrel. The price of Brent crude, the international standard, jumped 7.8% to $109.03 per barrel.
U.S. President Donald Trump said U.S. forces will keep hitting Iran “very hard” in the next two or three weeks.
The largest American aircraft carrier in service sailed out of Split, in Croatia and “remains poised for full mission tasking in support of national objectives in any area of operation,” the Navy’s 6th Fleet announced.
It was unclear where it was going. The USS Abraham Lincoln remains in the Arabian Sea and the USS George H. W. Bush aircraft carrier departed Norfolk on Wednesday to head to the Mideast.
Here is the latest:
Oil prices continued to surge on worries of a prolonged Iran war but the Asian markets that were open Friday rose moderately in cautious trading, while others were closed for the Good Friday holidays.
Benchmark U.S. crude rose 11.4% to $111.54 a barrel. The price of Brent crude, the international standard, jumped 7.8% to $109.03 per barrel.
The U.S. only relies on the Persian Gulf for a fraction of the oil it imports, but oil is a commodity and prices are set in a global market.
The situation is very different in Asia. Japan, for example, relies on access to the Strait of Hormuz for much of the nation’s oil import needs and would need to rely on alternative routes. But some analysts say Japan and oher nations are counting on an agreement with Iran to allow transports.
Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 gained 0.9% in Friday morning trading to 52,938.62. South Korea’s Kospi jumped 2.1% to 5,344.41. The Shanghai Composite sank 0.5% to 3,899.57. Trading was closed in Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Indonesia and India.
Wall Street, where trading is closed Friday, finished its first winning week since the start of the Iran war, although trading started out with a decline driven by a surge in oil prices.
Bangladesh is curtailing office hours and enforcing early closure of malls and shops beginning Friday to handle its energy crisis related to the war.
The country’s cabinet ordered 30% spending cuts for fuel and power at government offices, suspended some staff training and stopped purchases of new vehicles, ships and aircraft. Decorative lighting will not be allowed for celebrations.
Bangladesh, a nation of more than 170 million people, is seeking alternative fuel sources and $2.5 billion in external financing for imports, which account for 95% of its fuel.
Australian Energy Minister Chris Bowen on Friday urged motorists getting away for a long weekend during the Easter holiday to fill up in cities because most of the nation’s fuel shortages are in rural areas.
Among 2,400 gas stations in New South Wales, Australia’s most populous state, 182 had run out of diesel by Friday.
In Australia’s second-most populous state, Victoria, 76 gas stations were out of diesel. In the remaining states ranked by the most populous first, Queensland had 75 stations without diesel, Western Australia had 37, South Australia had 28 and in Tasmania there were seven.
“For those Australians planning a road trip this weekend, given our shortages are predominantly in rural and regional Australia, it makes sense to fill up in the city to help the country if you can,” Bowen said in Sydney.
The government, which blamed regional shortages on panic buying and distribution problems, is concentrating on delivering fuel to farmers for planting crops.
