## Pulling existing tools into one response layer Founded in 2025 by CEO Raziel Oren and co-founder Guy Eshel, both veterans of Israel Defense Forces Unit 8200, Mave built an agentic platform that connects an enterprise's existing security tools into a single system for handling threats from first alert through response. Rather than requiring security teams to funnel all their tool data into a central SIEM -- the traditional approach -- Mave's agents query each existing tool directly, investigate alerts, drop false positives, flag active campaigns, and can run response actions, but only inside rules the security team configures in advance.
That architecture puts Mave in the fast-growing agentic-security category alongside a wave of startups trying to automate the work of security-operations-center analysts, a segment that has drawn heavy venture interest this year as enterprises face analyst shortages and alert volumes that have outgrown manual triage. Mave's pitch of working with incumbent tools rather than replacing them is a deliberate wedge against both legacy SIEM vendors and newer AI-security entrants that ask customers to migrate data into a new platform before getting value -- a migration step that slows enterprise sales regardless of how good the underlying model is.
The company's early traction numbers are notable relative to its size: annual recurring revenue has grown more than 400% over the past year, Mave says it is closing seven-figure deals, and its roughly 20-person team runs the platform inside regulated financial and health care environments, including for global managed security service providers protecting hundreds of their own enterprise clients. Reaching regulated-industry customers this early is unusual for a company founded only last year, and it suggests Mave cleared compliance and security-review hurdles -- typically one of the slowest parts of enterprise security sales -- faster than most peers at this stage.
The caveat: a 400% growth rate off an undisclosed, likely small revenue base is easy to produce in a company's first year, and the figure says little on its own about retention or deal size once the initial design-partner wave of customers is through. Mave also has not named direct competitors publicly, describing rivals only generally as "incumbent platforms," which makes it hard to benchmark its growth against comparable agentic-security startups like Simbian or Dropzone AI that are pursuing similar automation theses. Running response actions autonomously, even inside configured guardrails, is also the kind of feature that draws the most scrutiny from security buyers in regulated industries -- exactly the customer base Mave says it already serves.
Whether Mave discloses specific enterprise customer names or a retention figure as it more than doubles headcount will show whether its guardrailed autonomous-response feature is a selling point or a sticking point as it moves deeper into regulated financial services deals.
