RapidFort, a cybersecurity company focused on protecting modern software supply chains, has secured fresh funding of $42m.
The company has raised $42m in Series A funding. The round was led by Blue Cloud Ventures and Forgepoint Capital, with participation from existing investor Felicis Ventures. Additional backers included Alumni Ventures, Boulder Ventures, Brave Capital, Evolution Ventures, Florida Funders, Gaingels and Mana Ventures.
RapidFort operates in the cybersecurity sector, helping organisations secure the software they build and deploy by focusing on continuous vulnerability remediation rather than traditional, reactive detection. As software delivery accelerates and attackers exploit weaknesses more quickly, the company positions itself as addressing the narrowing gap between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation.
Its platform is designed to secure the full software lifecycle, from build to runtime, by continuously analysing, remediating and hardening software artefacts so that vulnerabilities are removed before they can be exploited. The approach reflects a broader shift in the cybersecurity market away from periodic scanning and manual patching towards automated, always-on protection embedded directly into development pipelines.
The new funding will be used to accelerate RapidFort’s growth across several areas, including product innovation, platform expansion and enterprise adoption. The company plans to scale its go-to-market efforts, invest further in automated remediation capabilities and expand support for organisations operating in regulated environments that require auditable and continuous security controls.
The investment comes as vulnerability exploitation continues to rise. According to Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report, vulnerability exploitation now accounts for 20% of breaches, nearly matching credential abuse at 22%, underscoring the pressure on organisations to move faster in addressing software risk.
Blue Cloud Ventures managing partner Rami Rahal said, “Software teams are shipping faster than ever—and attackers are moving even faster. RapidFort is building what the market urgently needs: continuous vulnerability remediation that keeps pace with modern development. Their end-to-end platform doesn’t just surface risk—it eliminates it. We’re excited to partner with RapidFort as they define the next era of software supply chain security.”
RapidFort founder and CEO Mehran Farimani added, “The problem isn’t that organizations don’t know they have vulnerabilities, it’s that they can’t fix them fast enough. AI has accelerated software delivery and attacker capability at the same time. The window between disclosure and exploitation has collapsed. RapidFort exists to eliminate vulnerabilities continuously—at machine speed—before they reach production.”
Forgepoint Capital managing director Ernie Bio said, “RapidFort represents the evolution of software supply chain security from reactive to proactive. In an AI-accelerated threat landscape, detection alone is table stakes. What matters is elimination. RapidFort is the only platform that combines comprehensive profiling, automated rebuilding, intelligent patching, and continuous validation at enterprise scale. We’re thrilled to partner with Mehran and the team as they define the new standard for software supply chain security.”
Forgepoint Capital vice president Jimmy Park added, “What’s compelling about RapidFort is that it treats software artifacts as infrastructure. By hardening and validating images continuously, the platform creates a security foundation that scales across teams, tools, and environments—without forcing developers to change how they build.”
