SolveAI & Cylake Nab $45M+ for AI Automation
SolveAI secured $50M to scale its no-code enterprise automation platform, while Cylake emerged from stealth with a $45M seed for its AI-native cybersecurity platform. These deals show investors are betting big on AI-native automation for both business operations and cybersecurity. The funding reflects expectations for agentic, workflow-level automation that delivers real business outcomes.
SolveAI, founded in 2025 by Steve Basher, is based in London and currently has 12 employees. The company plans to quadruple its headcount in 2026 and expand partnerships in manufacturing, retail, and financial services. Their platform allows employees to build enterprise apps using natural language, addressing the struggle large companies face in turning ideas into working technical solutions. SolveAI's platform differs from AI coding tools like Lovable and Claude Code by delivering production-ready applications with built-in governance, security, and integration, connecting securely to systems like Salesforce, SAP, and GitHub. The $50 million funding includes a $45 million Series A led by GV (Google Ventures) and a $5 million pre-seed round led by Accel. GV manages over $10 billion in assets and has a portfolio of over 400 active companies. Cylake, based in Israel, is targeting regulated industries like government and defense that have been left behind by the cloud shift. The company was co-founded by Nir Zuk, Wilson Xu, and Ehud (Udi) Shamir. Zuk founded Palo Alto Networks and served as its CTO for over two decades. Cylake's platform aggregates telemetry from all sources into a sovereign data lakehouse, enabling AI agents to perform real-time analysis and response without external dependencies. The company's seed funding was led by Greylock Partners. The funding comes amid a cybersecurity funding boom, with U.S. seed investments up 53% in Q1 2026.
