## Executive Summary

Exaforce sells one architecture two ways, as a platform an enterprise security team runs in house with its AI agents, called Exabots, or as a managed service Exaforce analysts operate. Investor commitment runs far ahead of public proof: TechCrunch reports $200 million raised at a $725 million valuation alongside 20 disclosed customers, naming Replit and Guardant Health among them. The asset a buyer can verify is the founder's record: Ankur Singla previously led F5's security products business. Mayfield and Khosla Ventures invested in both of Exaforce's funding rounds. A buyer should weigh the valuation as investor confidence and the 20 disclosed customers as the proof available today.
