Exaforce Raises $125M Series B, Reaching $725M Valuation

Exaforce raised $125 million in Series B funding, valuing the three-year-old startup at $725 million. The round was backed by HarbourVest, Peak XV, Mayfield, Khosla Ventures and Seligman Ventures. It comes one year after the company raised $75 million in Series A funding, bringing Exaforce's total funding to $200 million.

Exaforce uses AI agents called “Exabots” with deep data analysis to automate security operations. The company claims its AI platform can reduce manual, time-consuming tasks by as much as 90 percent. Ankur Singla, co-founder and CEO of Exaforce, said the company's mission is straightforward.

“It’s a very simple mandate, but it’s very complex to execute,” he said. Umesh Padval, a managing partner at Seligman Ventures, pointed to the daily reality facing security teams. “A security operations person gets hundreds of alerts.

” he said. Exaforce officially brought its product to market in Q4 2025 after conducting two years of testing with design partners. The startup has since added 20 customers, including Replit and Guardant Health.

The company recently introduced a feature called 'vibe hunting' that lets security teams query its AI platform with natural language. ’” Singla said. High-profile attacks have accelerated customer interest.

Singla told TechCrunch that Exaforce expects to reach 40 to 50 customers by the end of 2026. @techcrunch reported that the company faces competition from 7ai, Dropzone AI, Prophet Security, Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike. The influx of capital reflects both the expense of building an AI-enabled security operations center and the market opportunity investors see as bad actors weaponize AI to exploit vulnerabilities at increasing speed.
