• Novee announced a $51.5 M funding raise as it launches publicly, one of the fastest funding trajectories in the offensive security space.
• The financing was led by YL Ventures, Canaan Partners, and Zeev Ventures (Oren Zeev).
• The startup was founded in May 2025 and emerged from stealth with this round just months later.

What Novee does

• Novee’s platform uses proprietary AI trained on real-world hacking techniques to simulate attacker behavior and perform continuous penetration testing, not just periodic assessments.
• It’s designed to identify complex vulnerabilities — including business-logic flaws — and validate fixes automatically.
• The company claims its purpose-built model achieves much higher accuracy on security exploitation tasks than generic large language models.

Why it matters

• Traditional penetration tests are episodic and manual, while modern development and attack practices move at machine speed; Novee aims to close that gap with continuous, AI-centered offensive security.
• Early customers include a range of tech firms already using its platform to uncover hard-to-find vulnerabilities.
