Runlayer, a New York based company that helps enterprises adopt AI safely, has raised $30 million in Series A funding. The round, led by Felicis with additional support from Khosla Ventures, brings the company’s total funding to $42 million.

Founded in 2025, Runlayer operates a secure control layer for AI tools across enterprise environments. The platform monitors how AI is accessed and used, lets employees build agents, deploy them across company systems, and hand off work to them. It supplies the permissions and company context needed to keep that activity in check, managing agents from a single control plane that covers identity, permissions, and policy enforcement while providing real-time visibility into what agents are doing.

The company came out of stealth in November 2025 and has already been adopted by Fortune 500s and high-growth businesses, including Instacart, Gusto, Decagon, Opendoor, dbt Labs, AngelList, and Lemonade.

Runlayer is led by Andrew Berman, a three-time founder who was most recently director of AI at Zapier, where he worked closely with OpenAI and Anthropic.

The new capital will go toward expanding the engineering and go-to-market teams as the company scales its governance platform.
