Cybersecurity startup Raven Cloud Inc.<\/a> announced today that it had raised $20 million in new funding to accelerate product development, expand its go-to-market activities in the U.S. and grow its engineering and research teams.
Founded in 2023, Raven (also referred to as RAVEN.IO) develops and offers application security technology that is designed to address limitations in traditional vulnerability-based models as artificial intelligence accelerates exploit development.
The company\u2019s technology analyzes application behavior at runtime and observes how code executes within live environments, where application-layer attacks and supply chain exploits often occur before signatures or patches are available.
The platform monitors internal execution paths within a running application and breaks them down into structured execution chains. The chains are then used to generate behavioral fingerprints that represent expected application behavior under normal conditions.
By continuously comparing live execution activity against fingerprints, the system can identify deviations that may indicate malicious activity. The process does not require code instrumentation nor introduces significant performance overhead to allow the system to function directly within production environments.
“In an era where AI tools can identify and exploit vulnerabilities at unprecedented scale and speed, organizations can no longer rely solely on signatures or on CVEs published after the fact,” explains Roi Abitboul, co-founder and chief executive officer of Raven. “We founded RAVEN.IO to enable organizations to precisely prevent attacks and to truly understand, in real time, what is happening inside their applications, without compromising performance or business continuity.”
Key capabilities of Raven’s platform include real-time detection and prevention of both known and previously unknown attacks based on behavioral anomalies rather than predefined signatures.
Raven’s platform is ideal for environments where applications handle sensitive data and operate in complex, distributed architectures, including cloud-native and enterprise systems.
The seed funding round was led by Norwest Venture Partners LP, with RedSeed Ventures, UpWest Labs, SentinelOne Inc., Jibe Ventures, Dnipro Ventures, Unusual Ventures, CyberFuture and Descope Inc. Chief Executive Officer Slavik Markovich also participating. Elron Ventures Ltd. also provided what Raven described as a post-seed investment.
“The shift toward modern architectures, cloud environments and accelerated AI-driven development is creating a need for a deeper security layer within the application itself,” said Yaniv Shnieder, CEO of Elron Ventures. “We believe strongly in the company\u2019s business momentum and in its potential for broad adoption across global enterprises, which is why we joined and are supporting the company post-seed.”
