Unframe raises $50M

Unframe said on May 19 that it raised a $50 million Series B led by Highland Europe, giving the enterprise AI startup fresh capital as companies look for ways to move pilots into production. The company said the round comes after it surpassed $100 million in total contract value in under 12 months. Existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners, Craft Ventures, TLV Partners, Third Point Ventures, Cerca Partners and Vintage Investment Partners also joined the financing. Unframe said it has now raised $100 million to date. ### Why is Unframe getting attention now? May 19 was the date Unframe disclosed both the new funding and a set of operating metrics that put it in the center of the enterprise AI infrastructure market. Highland Europe said the company is building a managed AI delivery platform aimed at helping enterprises move from “AI ambition” to deployed, production-ready systems in days. (highlandeurope.com) SiliconANGLE reported the company positions that product around a common enterprise problem: many AI initiatives start as pilots but stall before reaching production. $100 million in total contract value in less than a year is the figure investors are highlighting most. Highland Europe said Unframe also reached 400% net revenue retention, which it attributed to expansion inside enterprise accounts after an initial deployment. (highlandeurope.com) ### What does Unframe actually sell? Unframe describes its product as a managed AI delivery platform. SiliconANGLE said the platform, called The Framery, plugs into a customer’s existing systems and data and is designed to get a working AI deployment running in days. The report said customers can run it in their own cloud, on their own infrastructure, or as a hosted service, and that the product is not tied to a single large language model. (highlandeurope.com) April 3, 2025, was the date Unframe emerged from stealth with an earlier $50 million funding round. In that launch announcement, the company said it could deliver tailored AI solutions for enterprise use cases in hours rather than months, while integrating with SaaS applications, APIs, databases and files without requiring customers to move data outside their secure perimeter. (siliconangle.com) ### Who is behind the company? Shay Levi, Larissa Schneider and Adi Azarya founded Unframe in 2024, according to SiliconANGLE and Highland Europe. Levi previously co-founded Noname Security, which SiliconANGLE said Akamai Technologies acquired in 2024 for $450 million. (businesswire.com) Levi said in Highland Europe’s announcement that Unframe was started to “close the gap between AI ambition and AI execution.” In a separate statement cited by SiliconANGLE, he said enterprises have a backlog of high-impact AI use cases with little in production. (siliconangle.com) ### Why are investors backing this part of the AI stack? Jacob Bernstein, a principal at Highland Europe, said the problem is not a lack of AI ideas but what happens after companies identify a use case. He said many initiatives stall when they need to work in production, and said Unframe stood out because it could turn use cases into working deployments in days. (highlandeurope.com) Phillip Lockhard, partner and chief digital officer at Credera, described the appeal in more operational terms. SiliconANGLE cited him saying Unframe offers a “buy path” with reusable foundations that shorten the time to impact for customers trying to scale AI. (highlandeurope.com) ### What comes next after the round? The new money will be used to expand the platform, grow the team and support Unframe’s customer base as it scales globally, Highland Europe said. SiliconANGLE said the company also plans to expand delivery capacity, invest further in the platform and add senior leadership. (siliconangle.com) Total funding now stands at $100 million, following Unframe’s previous $50 million raise disclosed on April 3, 2025. The next milestone the company has identified is broader global expansion of its enterprise AI deployments across customer environments in cloud, hosted and on-premises settings.
