Runlayer Raises $30M Series A to Help Enterprises Go All In On AI
Felicis and Khosla Ventures double down to help Runlayer bring AI enablement and governance to the entire enterprise workforce
NEW YORK, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Runlayer, the platform helping companies become AI-native, today announced a 42 million.
Runlayer provides infrastructure for managing AI agents across enterprises — functioning as a corporate app store and control room. Employees can access pre-approved AI tools while IT teams monitor agent activity, data access, and costs through a single dashboard. The platform also identifies “shadow AI” usage.
Led by CEO Andrew Berman, a three-time founder who previously cofounded Nanit (AI-powered baby monitor) and Vowel (AI video conferencing), Runlayer develops solutions that enable employees to delegate concrete tasks to agents, with AI-powered functionality and control integrated into a single platform.
Key capabilities:
- Teams can use any AI client, agent, MCP, skill, or plugin, or create agents on demand by describing the work they want done.
- AI transformation teams get a single control plane and interoperability layer across the enterprise AI stack.
- Security and IT teams use the same control plane to secure AI activity and uncover shadow AI.
“Runlayer is one of those rare companies where the consequences of success are so large that almost nothing else matters. The team has found a powerful wedge by giving enterprises the solution they need to become AI-enabled. Their execution has been exceptional and adoption is accelerating because they are solving a problem no one else really delivers end-to-end, making them the first solution that makes it easy to become AI native versus trying to stitch together multiple point solutions,” said Jon Chu, the Partner at Khosla Ventures that led both their seed and A round investments into Runlayer.
“What makes Runlayer especially exciting is that this is not just a point solution for today’s AI adoption,” said Vinod Khosla. “As agents become ubiquitous, every employee will own tens or even hundreds of agents, and enterprises will need a new security fabric that governs how those agents access systems, handle data, and share information. Runlayer has the potential to become that foundational layer for the AI-enabled enterprise that every company must inevitably become to stay relevant.”
“Once it became clear Runlayer could become the agentic interaction fabric of the future, Vinod and I wanted to buy every available dollar of the round,” Chu added.
Runlayer came out of stealth seven months ago with an $11 million seed round from Felicis and Khosla Ventures. The company has signed over 12 unicorn customers including Instacart and Gusto. One Fortune 500 bank uses it to monitor 100,000 employees across 200,000 devices. Gartner projects 40% of enterprise applications will include AI agents by year-end 2026.
Runlayer is built for companies rolling out AI agents across engineering, security, IT, operations, and business teams while keeping one golden path for access, policy, and audit. The founding team created Zapier MCP and Agents, used by millions.
