$443M of new funding is targeting AI agents and automation at work
3 funded companies building into AI agents and automation at work. The work in scope is what the Senior Leader owns today.
The funding
Govern human and AI workflows with Island’s Enterprise Agentic Control Plane. Streamline ZTNA, enforce browser DLP, and optimize digital experiences.
Island secures $400M funding, reaches $6.4B valuation amid AI security demand →Comp AI sets eyes on a continuously agentic future for security and compliance
Comp AI raises $34 million for AI-native compliance and security →Ferry Health, agentic AI scheduling platform backed by a16z, launches from stealth
Ferry Health Emerges from Stealth with $9M to Automate Patient Appointment Scheduling →What it means
Capital arriving in a function is a reliable leading indicator. It does not mean the incumbents are wrong, and it does not mean these companies will succeed. It means that within the next few quarters the people who run this work will be asked what their function is doing about it, and the honest answer has to start with where that function actually stands.
So we built the assessment for it. Not a purchase decision, a structured set of questions to take to your own team.
