About Surf AI

Surf AI is a cybersecurity company that provides an agentic operations platform designed to help enterprises operationalize their security programs using artificial intelligence. The company was founded in 2024 by a team of experienced leaders from the Israeli cybersecurity sector, including Yair Grindlinger (CEO), Elad Horn (CPO), Roie Cohen Duwek (CTO), Avner Gideoni, and Brenton Gumucio. Grindlinger has a background as a repeat entrepreneur, having previously founded and led two companies, FireLayers and SupportSpace, through to acquisition.

The firm officially launched in March 2026, announcing $57 million in combined seed and Series A funding. The investment round was led by Accel, with participation from existing investors Cyberstarts and Boldstart Ventures. This capital is intended to accelerate product development, expand the team, and scale enterprise adoption. Surf AI was established to address the challenge security teams face in executing remediation tasks, even when risks are identified. The platform aims to close the gap between understanding security risks and acting on them by connecting disparate data sources and automating workflows.

Surf AI's platform functions by creating a unified operational layer that connects signals and business context from an organization's various systems, including identity, cloud, security, data, HR, and IT tools. It builds a 'living context graph' that maps assets, owners, permissions, and dependencies, providing a comprehensive view of the environment. Specialized AI agents then analyze this graph to identify exposures, prioritize risks based on business impact, and execute remediation tasks with human oversight. This allows security teams to move from reactive alerting to a model of continuous execution, addressing issues like dormant account cleanup, fixing misconfigurations, and managing access rights. The company serves enterprise clients, including Fortune 500 companies, helping them to lower risk, optimize costs, and improve their overall security posture.
