AIceberg, a company specializing in security, safety, and compliance technologies for artificial intelligence, announced it has secured $10 million in seed funding. The investment was led by SYN Ventures and Sprout & Oak. Alongside this financing round, AIceberg introduced a new platform designed to improve security and risk management for AI applications.
$10M funding helps AIceberg enhance AI trust and compliance
The AIceberg platform serves as a security measure for organizations utilizing generative and agentic AI, focusing specifically on validating AI-generated content. Unlike traditional generative solutions, AIceberg employs non-generative models to independently assess input and output from AI applications. The goal is to detect and mitigate potential risks in real-time, allowing organizations to safely adopt AI tools without exposing themselves to common threats.
According to Alex Schlager, CEO of AIceberg, current approaches relying on generative AI to safeguard similar systems have limitations and inherent risks. Schlager emphasized that AIceberg addresses this gap by providing real-time monitoring, detection of cybersecurity threats like data leaks or unauthorized access, and automated enforcement of organizational security policies.
Key features of AIceberg’s platform include measures to ensure appropriate use of AI technologies, up-to-date detection of cyber threats such as prompt injections or jailbreaking, and transparent compliance frameworks. Additionally, the platform offers enterprises increased observability into AI interactions, allowing businesses to analyze and improve their use of AI technology.

Jay Leek from SYN Ventures highlighted the growing necessity for robust security measures as organizations increasingly adopt AI solutions, pointing out the importance of comprehensive safeguards to minimize associated risks.
MJ Ramachandran, partner at Sprout & Oak, noted AIceberg’s expertise in combining AI with cybersecurity and enterprise risk management, mentioning the firm’s early investment based on the increasing demand for secure AI solutions in regulated sectors.
The recent funding will support AIceberg’s continued innovation in creating secure and transparent AI adoption tools for enterprises across industries.
