According to Fortune, Corma has raised $60 million in seed funding from Sequoia Capital, Khosla Ventures, and Coatue. The cybersecurity startup was founded in 2025 and operates from Tel Aviv and San Francisco. Six weeks ago, it deployed its first AI model at multiple Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies across healthcare, financial services, energy, critical infrastructure, and retail. The company says its model is built for defense, not offense. That sets it apart from security models trained by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others, which are mostly used for attack work. Corma's model focuses on log and audit data, finds threats in large streams of events, and keeps to a consistent policy across thousands of operations. The same company disclosure said customers using the model have reduced threat response times by 94%. The deployment took place before the financing news was made public.

Corma, a cybersecurity startup founded in 2025, has raised $60 million in seed funding, according to Fortune. Sequoia Capital, Khosla Ventures, and Coatue are among the investors in the round.

Product already in customers' hands

The company operates out of Tel Aviv and San Francisco. Six weeks before the public announcement, it had already deployed its first AI model to multiple Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies across healthcare, financial services, energy, critical infrastructure, and retail. The company said the model has cut threat response times by 94%.

Defense, not offense

Most current security models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others are trained for offense. Corma takes the opposite path. Its models focus on log and audit data analysis, spotting threats in high-volume events, and keeping policy consistent across thousands of operations.
