AegisAI Raises $13M in Seed Funding

AegisAI founders: Ryan Luo and Cy Khormaee.

AegisAI, a NYC-based cybersecurity startup developing email security services, raised $13M in Seed funding.

​The round was led by Accel and Foundation Capital.

The company intends to use the funds to accelerate product development, expand the engineering team, and support go-to-market efforts as the company scales its autonomous email security platform.

Led by Cy Khormaee and Ryan Luo, AegisAI offers email security services through autonomous AI agents that detect and respond to email threats without human intervention. The company delivers protection against phishing, malware, and social engineering attacks.

Core platform capabilities:

• Autonomous threat detection: Real-time analysis of every message component including links, attachments, metadata, QR codes and behavioral patterns.
• Intelligent false positive suppression: Customers in production environments have seen up to 90% reduction in false positives (good emails being quarantined) compared to traditional solutions.
• Zero-Configuration operation: Autonomous response, escalation, and policy enforcement requiring minimal SOC setup or maintenance.
• Security-first design: Built with enterprise-grade encryption and data minimization principles.
