Race Capital led a $4 million seed funding round for Unbound, which assists businesses in implementing Generative AI tools safely and responsibly throughout their organizations. Other prominent angel investors included Massive Tech Ventures, Y Combinator, Wayfinder Ventures, and others.
According to a press release from Unbound, the money raised will be used for internal model orchestration for businesses implementing open-source LLMs, deepening model routing capabilities, increasing integrations throughout the AI ecosystem, and hiring and growing in India.
Rajaram Srinivasan and Vignesh Subbiah co-founded Unbound in 2023 to make sure that security and IT teams have the necessary oversight. The startup facilitates policy enforcement in accordance with organizational standards, helps regulate the flow of sensitive data, and offers comprehensive insight into usage patterns. Enterprise AI adoption is made safer, more transparent, and easier to handle with Unbound.
Unbound claims that it provides the visibility and controls required for IT teams to safely implement and oversee AI tools within the company. Real-time protection, model routing, and usage analytics are all provided by its AI Gateway, which connects to widely used tools like Cursor, Roo, Cline, or internal document copilots.
According to Unbound, a growing number of mid-market and enterprise clients from industries like technology and healthcare are already using its product. In the same week, one of its clients used it to safely roll out Gemini 2.5 into production AI tools for over 100 engineers.
More than 500 instances of personally identifiable information, including patient records, phone numbers, and customer names, as well as hundreds of secret credentials, such as connection strings, API keys, and passwords, have already been stopped from leaking thanks to Unbound.
Other companies in the market include Palo Alto Networks, Netskope, Broadcom’s Symantec DLP, and GenAI security startups Lasso and Aim Security.
