Cybersecurity Startup WiseBee Secures €2.1 Million In Pre-Seed Round

The investment will speed up the development and rollout of its Agentic cyber risk mitigation platform.

The round was led by Frontline Ventures and BrightCap Ventures, with support from a U.S.-based investment firm and cybersecurity-focused angel investors.

“Most cybersecurity tools are reactive, siloed, and designed for large enterprises with hefty budgets,” said CEO Stoyan Stoyanov. “We are building something fundamentally different: an autonomous system of security agents that detect and mitigate risks around the clock – 24/7.”

The company targets organisations with 200 to 2,000 employees, especially in regulated industries like finance, fintech, healthcare, and digital identity—sectors often exposed to advanced threats but lacking the in-house resources to manage them.

WiseBee’s platform acts as an AI-powered control layer over existing security tools, combining threat intelligence, attack surface monitoring, and vendor risk management into one autonomous system.

Stoyan Stoyanov, a serial founder with deep experience in cybersecurity, previously led product at SecurityScorecard, helping the company grow beyond unicorn status. His co-founder, Taha Kazi, brings AI and data engineering expertise from SecurityScorecard, Deloitte, and Amazon, with a strong focus on building intelligent automation tools for security teams.

WiseBee is already securing critical environments across both public and private sectors. A global FinTech unicorn uses the platform to speed up vendor risk assessments and response times. A SpaceTech company relies on WiseBee to safeguard its complex cloud and vendor infrastructure.

In the public sector, a U.S. government agency uses it for vendor monitoring, third-party risk assessment, and automatic vulnerability resolution. Meanwhile, a Bulgarian bank and a pan-European FinTech provider—both regulated under DORA—use WiseBee for proactive attack surface management.

“AI brings huge benefits but also new security threats, from rogue agents to unvetted tools and chaotic tech stacks. Stoyan and Taha are building exactly what stretched infosec teams need: AI-native agents that go beyond alerts to deliver full remediation. We’ve been impressed by their speed and traction so far and are excited to back them as they scale across Europe and the US,” said Zoe Chambers, Partner at Frontline Ventures.

WiseBee is currently running pilot programs with CISOs across sectors like FinTech, banking, government, defense, and telecom. By enabling real-time threat resolution without the need for extra staff, the platform reportedly reduces response times from days to just hours.

The company is also expanding its presence across Europe and North America, gaining early traction in regions such as Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), the UK, DACH and the U.S. West Coast.

“Cybersecurity is no longer just about better alerts; it’s about intelligent context and precise autonomous actions. Wisebee delivers on all fronts, thanks to Stoyan and Taha’s deep industry expertise, AI innovations and customer-first approach. We are delighted to partner with Wisebee as they bring their product to thousands more organisations and continue growing their team with top AI talent,” said Dimitar Korsakov, Principal at BrightCap Ventures.

WiseBee plans to use the funding to boost its platform’s autonomous features, add more integrations, and expand its team to support product-led growth. The company is also preparing for its next funding round and building a community-driven approach to strengthen cyber defence.
