Runlayer raises $30M Series A to govern enterprise AI agents

What happened

On June 24 Runlayer announced a $30M Series A led by Felicis Ventures with participation from Khosla Ventures, bringing total funding to $42M.

Context and impact

AI-agent governance is fast becoming its own enterprise-software category. Gartner expects 40% of enterprise apps to embed AI agents by end of 2026, with the agentic-AI-security market already pegged at $55B this year. The bidding heat around the round (Khosla reportedly wanted "every available dollar") signals investors see this as one of the hottest emerging categories.

Details

• Employees can plug in ChatGPT, Claude or Agentforce with pre-approved usage modes.
• IT and security teams get a dashboard of every agent's activity.
• The platform also surfaces "shadow AI" — tools employees use without company knowledge.
