Overview

AIR (AIR Security) was founded by Unit 8200 veterans Yair Saban and Niv Hoffman. The platform discovers agents, vet skills/add-ons/MCP servers continuously, and can block unsafe connections. TechCrunch reported $50M across two seed rounds announced September 1, 2026.

Why AIR is interesting

September 1, 2026 $50M across two seeds — Sequoia-led $10M then Greenoaks-led $40M — betting agent supply chains need continuous re-verification, not one-time scanners; company claims 20+ customers including regulated industries.
