// For Investors · $4M Pre-Seed

Vezran builds the command layer for agentic intelligence — and funds the thesis through proof.

A crowded category with one underserved job. We're raising $4M pre-seed to close the wedge in mid-market through Zyberpol, our operating company in security, establish the PROVE differentiator, and put a 12-person team into Phase 3 within 18 months.

Round
$4M pre-seed
Stage
Pre-revenue, Phase 2 shipping
Team
12 across security ops, ML infra, product
Wedge
Mid-market security teams (500–2,000 employees)
Differentiator
PROVE — the audit + cyber-insurance evidence layer

The thesis in one sentence: the agentic-SOC category will be won by whoever owns the proof layer — and almost no competitor is building it.

02 · Why Now

Three inflections collided. $300M+ followed.

The category is on fire because three forces converged. We don't need to convince an investor that the timing is right — capital already voted.

FORCE 01 · MODEL CAPABILITY
Frontier reasoning crossed the bar.

Claude, GPT, and Gemini now do tier-1 triage reliably enough to delegate. The agent layer is no longer a research demo.

FORCE 02 · ATTACK AUTOMATION
Adversaries are already agentic.

95% of 2025 intrusions used automation at some stage. Human-paced defense vs machine-paced offense is a losing math problem.

FORCE 03 · CAPITAL ALREADY VOTED
$300M+ deployed in 90 days.

Dropzone $37M Series B (300+ orgs). Prophet $30M Series A. Exaforce $125M (~$725M val). Torq $1.2B val. 7AI $700M val. TENEX.AI $250M. Arctic Wolf Aurora. The category is the most-funded space in security right now.

The market thesis is settled. What's contested is who wins the lane.

03 · Where We Fit

The category is crowded. The lane we run in is not.

Most well-funded entrants compete for tier-1 triage. Zyberpol does too — but the unsolved job is one layer deeper. After the alert is correlated, decided, and acted on, somebody still has to PROVE it happened the way the team says it did.

// The Unsolved Job
PROVE

The audit-and-insurance evidence layer.

What underwriters now demand (per 2024 industry reports):

  • Provable controls during the incident window
  • Active response (not just policy)
  • Human accountability on response decisions
Cyber insurance premiums
$23B by 2026
2024 claims denied
40%+ for unprovable controls
Competitors leading here
~zero (Conifers touches it; nobody owns it)

The lane is open.

Two motions, one lane: mid-market wedge (proof for the auditor) → enterprise expansion (proof for the underwriter).

04 · Market

Honest TAM. Real SAM.

We don't inflate the addressable market. Two stacked panels — the broad AI-in-security TAM (where the gravitational pull is) and the narrower agentic-security SAM (where the spend actually flows in our 36-month window).

// TAM · AI in Security (Broad)
$31.5B (2025) → $93.75B (2030)
What this is
Total spend on AI/ML-augmented security tooling — detection, response, identity, cloud, app sec. The market gravity.
What this is NOT
Vezran's serviceable market. We're a specific layer in a specific motion.
// SAM · Agentic Security (Narrow)
~$1.65B (2026) → $13.52B (2032)
42% CAGR
What this is
Software that agent-orchestrates the response loop — not just detects. The lane we run in.
What this is NOT
The full SOC TAM. We replace the SOAR category (~$2.5B), not SIEM (~$10B) or EDR/XDR (~$12B). Adjacent, but distinct.

Comfortable with the math: SAM is large enough to build a meaningful business in; TAM is large enough that adjacent expansion (vulnerability prioritization, threat-intel auto-hunt, self-healing pipelines) is real.

05 · Two Motions

Wedge + expansion. Self-serve + co-managed.

One platform. Two GTM motions. The first funds the second. The second compounds the first.

// Motion 01 · Wedge
Mid-market self-serve.
ICP
500–2,000 employees. Has a SOC, can't staff 24×7. Procures via demo → POC → close.
Why this
Underserved by enterprise sales motion. SOC 2 audit cost = $36K — our annual subscription is comparable.
What $4M buys
PLG infrastructure, demo-to-close pipeline, ~50 design-partner customers within 12 months.
// Motion 02 · Expansion
Enterprise co-managed.
ICP
Fortune 1000 SOC teams. Want human accountability on the contract. Procure via direct sales + FDE.
Why this
Enterprise won't trust software without a name on the breach response. Co-managed tier wraps software with human SLA.
What $4M doesn't buy
The enterprise tier is post-Series-A. The pre-seed funds the wedge that earns the right to scale into enterprise.

We're not running enterprise SOCs today. Enterprise is the expansion that the wedge funds.

06 · Moat

Four moats. The compound one matters most.

Not “AI is hard to copy” — that's not a moat. Four specific defensibilities, the compound one being what we're actually building.

MOAT 01 · ARCHITECTURE

4-agent split + frontier reasoning orchestration. Multi-provider model routing (Claude / GPT / Gemini). Not a single-vendor monoculture. Hard to copy because it's a system-design choice, not a feature.

MOAT 02 · DATA / CONTEXT

Each deployment trains on per-customer signal: their alerts, their tools, their false-positive history. Creates real switching cost. After 6 months, ripping us out means re-tuning every adjacent tool.

MOAT 03 · PROVE LAYER

The audit/insurance evidence layer is the underserved lane. First mover gets the format right. Underwriters adopt one schema; that schema wins.

MOAT 04 · COMPOUND

Each new vertical we add (vuln prioritization, threat-intel auto-hunt, self-healing pipelines) makes the platform more valuable. Mifal orchestration scales horizontally; new domain = same harness + new agents. Platform leverage compounds with every customer and every vertical.

Architecture, data, lane, and compound — in that order of cost-to-replicate.

07 · Traction

Pre-revenue. No inflation.

Honest reads only. The website carries the same “no fake social proof” rule.

The honest read: we have what an investor at this stage should expect — working product, working team, working thesis, no signed pilots yet. We'll show you the receipts the moment they exist. That's the whole point of the PROVE layer.
