Corma, an AI-focused cybersecurity startup with offices in Tel Aviv and San Francisco, emerged from stealth with $60M in seed funding led by Sequoia Capital. The company addresses growing security risks posed by widely available AI models.
Corma develops AI models designed to strengthen defensive cybersecurity capabilities as organizations face an expanding threat landscape. The proliferation of powerful, accessible AI systems has created new vulnerabilities for enterprises to defend against.
Sequoia Capital led the funding round, signaling investor confidence in the startup's approach to AI-powered security solutions. The dual-headquarters structure—spanning Tel Aviv's growing cybersecurity hub and Silicon Valley—positions Corma to draw talent and expertise from both regions.
The company joins a growing roster of startups tackling cybersecurity challenges amplified by generative AI and machine learning adoption. As enterprises increasingly integrate AI into operations, the demand for specialized defensive tools continues to rise.
