Bricklayer AI has closed a $5 million seed round led by Tech Square Ventures. The round was oversubscribed, drawing continued support from Sovereign’s Capital, Dreamit Ventures, and BlueWing Ventures. All three firms participated in previous funding rounds and chose to double down on their investment.

The Arlington, Virginia-based company builds an agentic cybersecurity platform that helps Security Operations Centers deploy and manage AI agents. These agents handle tasks like alert triage, vulnerability management, threat intelligence, and incident reporting. The fresh capital will fund product development, expand go-to-market efforts, improve customer experience, and support rising enterprise demand.

Why Security Teams Are Turning to AI Agents

Security operations are under pressure. Threat volumes keep climbing, tool stacks keep growing, and qualified analysts remain in short supply. Traditional automation helps, but it lacks the flexibility and judgment that human analysts bring to complex investigations.

Bricklayer AI built a platform that addresses this gap. Instead of static workflows, the company enables security teams to create specialized AI agents that work together as a cohesive unit. These agents complete multi-step tasks with consistency and speed while maintaining full auditability. They communicate with each other, share context, and solve problems in ways that mirror how human analysts collaborate.

“Security teams are reaching a breaking point. Legacy automation can only move so fast, but AI agents can move with both speed and understanding. This investment allows us to scale that vision—empowering organizations to build their own teams of AI agents that work like analysts, learn like analysts, and deliver consistency that humans alone can’t sustain. It’s the next step toward an AI-native security operations model.”

Using the Funds to Meet Enterprise Demand

The new funding will go toward several priorities. Product development remains the top focus as Bricklayer AI refines its agent orchestration capabilities and expands the types of security workflows it can automate. The company is also investing in go-to-market operations to reach more enterprise customers and managed security providers.

Customer experience will receive attention as well. As adoption grows, Bricklayer AI plans to build out support infrastructure and ensure smooth onboarding for large organizations deploying the platform at scale.

From Startup to Enterprise Traction

Bricklayer AI was founded in 2024 by Adam Vincent, who saw an opportunity to apply agentic AI principles to security operations. The company is based in Arlington, Virginia, and serves customers ranging from Fortune 500 enterprises to managed security providers.

Growth has accelerated throughout 2025. Monthly recurring revenue expanded more than 14 times year-to-date and more than doubled in the most recent quarter alone. The platform is now deployed across multiple Fortune 500 companies and security service providers, where it automates thousands of analyst hours each month.

What sets Bricklayer AI apart is its approach to agent coordination. Rather than offering a single AI assistant, the platform lets organizations build teams of specialized agents. Each agent focuses on a specific domain—threat analysis, vulnerability prioritization, or compliance reporting, for example—and they work together to handle complex security operations. This structure mirrors how human security teams divide responsibilities and collaborate on investigations.

Backing from Tech Square Ventures and Engage

Tech Square Ventures led the round and brings more than capital. The Atlanta-based early-stage venture firm provides portfolio companies with access to its network and resources designed to accelerate growth. Scott Lopano, a partner at the firm, explained the investment thesis.

“Bricklayer is tackling one of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity today: scaling the expert decision-making of today’s cyber professionals to meet the exponentially growing threat landscape. Adam and his team have built an intelligent foundation for how security operations will be run in the era of AI—context-aware, open, collaborative, and built for the enterprise.”

Bricklayer AI also joined Engage as part of Cohort 15. Engage is an Atlanta-based innovation platform managed by Tech Square Ventures that connects startups with 16 Fortune 500 partners. Members include Delta Air Lines, The Coca-Cola Company, UPS, Goldman Sachs, and Georgia-Pacific. The program helps high-growth companies accelerate enterprise adoption through direct engagement with corporate stakeholders and collaboration with Georgia Tech.

Access to Engage’s network could prove valuable as Bricklayer AI looks to expand its enterprise footprint. The platform’s design already aligns with what large organizations need: auditability, integration with existing tools, and the ability to maintain human oversight while automating routine tasks.

Customers currently use Bricklayer AI to reduce response times, improve consistency across security operations, and free up analysts to focus on higher-value work. The platform integrates with existing security infrastructure, allowing AI agents to pull data from multiple sources and execute actions across different tools without requiring organizations to replace their current systems.

As the company scales, the focus will be on refining agent capabilities and expanding into new security use cases while maintaining the reliability and transparency that enterprise customers require.
