- Unframe
Led · Series B · Jun 2026
Founded in 2024 by Shay Levi, Larissa Schneider, and Adi Azarya, Unframe provides a managed delivery model and an open platform called The Framery to implement enterprise AI solutions rapidly. Its approach pairs core platform components with hands-on delivery so solutions can run in a customer's cloud, on-premises, or as a managed SaaS offering without tying customers to a single large language model. Commercially, Unframe reached $100 million in total contract value within its first twelve months and reported 400% net revenue retention, with roughly half of customers converting to paid contracts under an outcome-based pricing model. The company employs about 120 people across Cupertino, Tel Aviv, and Berlin. Near-term plans announced alongside the Series B include expanding delivery capacity, investing further in The Framery, and adding senior leadership to support growth.
