    Participated · Equity · May 2026

    Herd Security offers an AI-powered platform that replaces static, annual compliance training with dynamic, real-time educational content and simulations delivered through channels such as Slack, Teams, and learning management systems. The platform can import security policies, compliance frameworks, and security data, which Herd parses and updates to generate customized micro-trainings, simulations, and assessments aligned with organization-specific threats and workflows. Herd positions its product to help security and GRC teams rapidly create and deploy iterative security lessons in response to new attack patterns without requiring additional operational resources or external vendors. The company said it will use the $3 million raise to expand product development across HR and AI training categories, enhance AI-driven video generation capabilities, and grow its partnership ecosystem. Herd Security was founded in 2025 by Brandon Min and reported the $3 million financing led by Aspiron Ventures.
