Artificial Intelligence Firm, Dropzone AI, Secures $37 Million in Series B Funding for Enhancing Cybersecurity Operations Personnel
Dropzone AI, a Seattle-based startup that specializes in AI-based Security Operations Center (SOC) solutions, has announced the successful completion of a $37 million Series B funding round. The investment will be used to expand the company's AI capabilities, global reach, and integration with existing security systems.
The funds will be allocated towards several key areas. Firstly, Dropzone AI plans to build new AI agents to enhance capabilities in threat hunting, vulnerability management, and governance, risk, and compliance. Secondly, the investment will boost its autonomous SOC analyst platform, which leverages AI to mimic human analysts in tasks like investigating alerts and escalating incidents for human review.
Thirdly, the funding will accelerate Dropzone AI's global expansion efforts, allowing the company to reach more markets and customers worldwide. The company aims to deepen integrations with existing security systems to enhance its offerings and provide seamless integration with other security tools.
The funds will also support the development of pre-trained AI security agents designed to act as Tier-1 SOC analysts, reducing the workload on human security teams and improving response times to threats.
Dropzone AI has already established itself as a trusted category leader in the AI SOC market, with validation from some of the world's largest enterprises and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs). The company's solution is currently enhancing security for over 100 enterprises, including UiPath, Zapier, and Pipe.
Tomasz Tunguz, General Partner at Theory, expressed his excitement about doubling down in the Series B to further accelerate Dropzone's efforts and shape what's next in AI-native security platforms. Edward Wu, Founder and CEO of Dropzone AI, emphasized the importance of this change, stating that Dropzone AI exists to level the playing field for cyber defenders.
The new funding will also be used to expand global sales, marketing, and customer success teams. The performance of Dropzone AI's SOC analysts is exceptional, delivering detailed, high-fidelity alerts within minutes. The company's solution has been validated by some of the world's largest enterprises, including Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance.
Andrew Marsh, Director of Information Security at Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance, reinforces the importance of Dropzone AI's solution in elevating threat response capabilities. Dropzone AI's solution is driving a generational shift in cybersecurity, moving from manpower-bound, alert-chasing SOC teams to SOC teams backed by an army of autonomous AI agents.
The new funding round saw participation from Madrona, Decibel Ventures, Pioneer Square Labs, and IQT. Vivek Ramaswami, Partner at Madrona Ventures, stated that Dropzone AI's ability to autonomously triage and investigate security alerts with human-level reasoning is a game-changer.
Dropzone AI has received recognition from analyst firms like Gartner and Forrester. The company's AI-based solution has been recognized in the 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle for Security Operations as a Sample Vendor for AI SOC Agents.
With this new investment, Dropzone AI is poised to continue its growth and innovation in the AI SOC market, making cybersecurity more efficient and effective for businesses worldwide.
Dropzone AI intends to use the funds to enhance its cybersecurity capabilities, particularly in threat hunting, vulnerability management, and governance, risk, and compliance, by developing new AI agents. The investment also aims to boost the company's autonomous SOC analyst platform, leveraging technology to mimic human analysts in tasks like investigating alerts and escalating incidents.
