Dropzone AI, a cybersecurity firm specialising in autonomous AI security operations centre (SOC) analysts, has secured $37m in Series B funding to accelerate its mission of modernising threat detection and response.
The round was led by Theory Ventures, with participation from Madrona, Decibel Ventures, Pioneer Square Labs, and IQT. The latest injection of capital underscores investor confidence in Dropzone AI’s differentiated offering and growing customer base, which includes companies such as UiPath, Zapier, Pipe, and Assala Energy.
Founded to combat the persistent challenge of alert fatigue and understaffed SOC teams, Dropzone AI develops autonomous AI agents capable of triaging and investigating security alerts with human-level reasoning. Its platform aims to bridge the growing cybersecurity talent gap by allowing organisations to maintain robust threat coverage and faster incident response without increasing operational overhead.
With the new funds, Dropzone AI plans to expand its global reach by investing in sales, marketing, and customer success teams. The company also intends to accelerate development of new AI agents capable of handling manual security tasks and deepen integration partnerships to ensure interoperability with various tech stacks used by security teams globally.
Dropzone AI CEO Edward Wu said, “Today’s funding fortifies our market lead. We’re driving a generational shift in cybersecurity from manpower-bound, alert-chasing SOC teams to SOC teams backed by an army of autonomous AI agents that get to focus on what truly matters. This change is not optional; it’s essential. We exist to level the playing field for cyber defenders, and we can field these next-generation capabilities right now. We know who we’re working for. We’ll ensure they always outmatch the attackers.”
Madrona Ventures partner Vivek Ramaswami said, “Dropzone AI’s ability to autonomously triage and investigate security alerts with human-level reasoning is a game-changer in a market that’s overwhelmed by alert fatigue and attack frequency.
“At Madrona we look for founders who are passionate about advancing their sector and have the technical ability to do so; Edward exemplifies this pairing of vision and acumen. We’re proud to support him and the Dropzone team in building what modern security teams need to stay ahead.”
