  • Seemplicity

    Participated · Series B · Aug 2025

    Seemplicity builds an exposure action platform that automates aggregation, prioritization and remediation workflows to reduce exposure noise and accelerate fixes for security, IT and DevOps teams. The platform consolidates findings, prioritizes the 5% that matters, and automatically creates remediation tasks, claiming a 95% reduction in exposure noise. Seemplicity processes more than 1.5 billion security findings daily and reports an 800% increase in ARR since its Series A alongside 3× growth in new customer acquisition. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Palo Alto, the company has seen robust Fortune 500 adoption. The new funding will accelerate development and deployment of AI agents that combine each organization’s business logic with external threat intelligence to deliver personalized risk insights and proactive remediation guidance. Seemplicity also plans to scale U.S. operations, expand across the UK and Europe, and drive revenue growth through new sales channels. Seemplicity provides a unified risk-reduction and productivity platform that collects, aggregates and normalizes data from third-party security tools (vulnerability management, appsec, penetration testing, API security and SaaS security) into a single location. The platform enables security teams to build automated workflows that manage findings across multiple tools, aiming to reduce manual remediation work and speed up time-to-remediation. The company claims its automation cuts the time security analysts spend on manual operations by 80% and increases remediation throughput sixfold. Seemplicity positions itself against RBVM and ASOC competitors by focusing on outcomes—reducing time-to-remediation—rather than only consolidating and prioritizing findings. The launch is positioned to help address SOC analyst burnout, with the article citing industry research that more than 70% of SOC analysts experience burnout and 64% say manual work consumes more than half their time. Seemplicity launched the product alongside a $32M funding event to support the platform rollout.

  • Magnus Metal

    Participated · Series B · Apr 2024

    Magnus Metal has developed a "digital casting" process that slices designs into layers and creates ceramic forms 4–20 mm thick into which molten metal is dripped and built up layer by layer. Each new layer melts the previous one to bond material and allow impurities to float out, yielding parts the company says have fewer defects and are 10%–20% stronger than traditionally cast parts. The system is positioned as faster than 3D printing, able to use customer-specified materials, and its ceramic bases can be reused for a finite number of parts. Magnus says the approach removes the need for expensive tooling used in sand casting, making lower-volume, complex parts more cost-effective while acknowledging simple parts will still favor sand casting. The company plans to sell both machines and proprietary ceramic feedstock, targeting $500,000 to $1 million of recurring revenue per machine. Magnus Metal has raised a $74 million Series B to support industrialization this year and to begin beta testing at the start of next year.
