Funded: Maze nabs $25M Series A to stop cloud breaches before they start

Hi there and welcome to Funded, where we spotlight the early-stage bets on the future of tech.

Today, we look at Maze, a London-based AI-native security platform that is building AI agents to investigate, triage, and resolve the small number of cloud vulnerabilities most likely to cause a breach. The co announced a $25 million Series A round this week led by Theory Ventures, with participation from existing investors Cherry Ventures and Tapestry VC. 

Maze is moving fast—the round comes less than a year after the company’s founding and 9 months after its $6 million seed round; it’s also growing the team, with a plan to use the funds to onboard talent and build products for new AI-security use cases. Starting with an agent for vulnerabilities, Maze aims to develop a comprehensive, AI-native security platform.

The co was founded by CEO Harry Wetherald, CPO Adrian Jozwik, and CTO Santiago Castineira, who previously led product, design, and engineering teams at Tessian, Elastic, and Amazon. They built Maze’s first AI agent by replicating the workflow of expert human analysts, so it can act autonomously to stop attacks before they happen. The product is already being used by customers, including several high-growth technology companies.

“Before starting Maze, we talked to hundreds of security professionals and heard the same complaint again and again – dealing with vulnerabilities is a nightmare,” said Harry Wetherald, Maze CEO and co-founder. “Security teams are already struggling today, and as attackers get their hands on AI, things are only going to get more difficult. While AI gives us the ability to build better security tools, it is also enabling bad actors to deliver complex attacks at scale. Our goal is to give security teams the tools they need to fight back.”
