Runlayer Raises $11M to Scale Enterprise MCP Infrastructure

Led by Keith Rabois at Khosla Ventures with Felicis // TechCrunch // Linkedin // Twitter

Your team is connecting their favorite AI tool to production databases through MCP. Everyone is. Of the 18,000+ MCP servers, 10% are malicious. The rest are exploitable.

Enterprise teams have no visibility, no controls, and no way to stop it without blocking AI adoption entirely.

That's the problem Runlayer is solving with our $11M seed round.

MCP is now the standard for how AI connects to tools and data. Every AI client (Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT) supports it.

Teams are plugging AI into production databases, internal APIs, and company systems to power their productivity. Teams face an impossible choice: block MCP entirely or accept the chaos.

The race for the best model is over. The race now is to control how AI interacts with the world's tools and data.

Runlayer introduces the golden path: Enterprise MCP

Security AND enablement. Custom threat detection with roughly double the accuracy than the industry best. Fine-grained MCP permissions integrated with your IdP. Complete observability across every AI action. Curated MCP catalog so developers access vetted tools, not random community servers. Deployable in your VPC or our cloud.

AI-native companies like Gusto and Opendoor are already using Runlayer in production. The Co-Creator of MCP at Anthropic (David Soria Parra) and Head of Security at Cursor (Travis McPeak) are advising Runlayer to help shape the future of enterprise AI infrastructure.

Just like APIs defined the last 20 years of software, MCP will define the next 20 years of AI. It only scales with enterprise infrastructure.

The era of production AI agents is here. If your goal is AI transformation without the chaos, get in touch.
