AI-powered Security Operations Center (SOC) startup Mate Security has announced raising $35 million in a Series A funding round that brings the total raised by the company to over $50 million.
Led by Canaan Partners, with additional support from Insight Partners, Microsoft’s Venture Fund M12, and Team8, the investment round comes eight months after the company emerged from stealth mode.
Founded in 2025 by former Wiz and Microsoft veterans, Tel Aviv-based Mate has built an open, agentic platform that relies on AI to transform security operations into continuously learning defense systems.
Mate’s agentic SOC creates a unique security context graph for each organization, based on assets, business processes, users, and data, which is then used to build detections, triage and investigate incidents, and perform threat hunting and incident response.
By using unique context graphs, Mate’s agents operate within each organization’s context to provide tailored, up-to-date defenses.
They operate in a Continuous Detection, Continuous Response (CDCR) framework, retaining knowledge with each investigation to improve detections that feed the next investigation.
Planning to double its workforce by the end of the year, Mate will use the fresh investment to expand its customer support, sales, and R&D teams, as well as its market presence.
“When we started Mate, we knew we had to invest in the foundation: context and trust, and build them deeply into our product. We will continue moving fast and stay laser-focused on our customers, as we expand into new markets and categories to build the Open Security Operations foundation of the future,” said Mate co-founder and CEO Asaf Wiener.
