Paraform’s Series B was led by Scale Venture Partners and took the company’s total capital raised to roughly $65 million, according to the company’s filing and reporting. (finsmes.com)) Paraform is led by co‑founders John Kim and Jeffery Liu and markets an “Agentic Hiring Platform” that uses AI to orchestrate the recruitment lifecycle and targets senior tech hires in the $300K–$400K compensation band while listing customers like Rippling, Palantir and Abridge. (finsmes.com)) Oasis Security’s most recent round was led by Craft Ventures with participation from Sequoia and Accel, and the company says the new financing brings cumulative capital raised to about $195 million. (accessnewswire.com)) Oasis positions its Agentic Access Management (AAM) product as an enterprise-grade layer for Non‑Human Identity that enforces intent‑based, just‑in‑time access, and the company reported new ARR growth of roughly 5x year‑over‑year while serving a majority‑Fortune‑500 customer base. (accessnewswire.com)) Edra was founded by former Palantir engineers Eugen Alpeza (CEO) and Yannis Karamanlakis (CTO) and closed its Series A in a round led by Sequoia with participation from 8VC, A*, and strategic investor HubSpot Ventures. (finsmes.com)) Edra describes its stack as “agentic learning,” using thousands of parallel agents to ingest operational data and build a white‑box, executable knowledge library for automating IT service management and customer‑support workflows, with early deployments at customers including HubSpot, ASOS and Cushman & Wakefield.
