## Executive Summary

Raven sells software that watches how code runs inside production applications and blocks attacks in real time, whether or not a known vulnerability exists. The analyst James Berthoty already groups Raven in a close runtime cohort with vendors such as ARMO and Oligo, so the signature-free space is already contested. Raven's team is the harder part for a rival to match. Its CEO and CTO built and sold Javelin Networks to Symantec, making Raven their second cybersecurity venture. Norwest led the seed and Elron Ventures a post-seed extension, together 20 million dollars, and it names SageSure and Favor Delivery among a reported 11 production customers. Treat the founders' record and early traction as a head start, not yet a durable lead.

## Sourced Details

| Detail | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Description | Raven runs inside production applications, observing real code execution down to libraries, functions, and call paths to detect and block known and unknown attacks in real time, and adds runtime vulnerability prioritization, developer attribution, and AI-agent visibility. | [\[f1\]](#company-detail-sources) |
| Founded | 2023 | [\[f2\]](#company-detail-sources) |
| HQ | Palo Alto, California, United States | [\[f3\]](#company-detail-sources) |
| Funding | $20M total | [\[f3\]](#company-detail-sources) |
| Latest funding | Seed and post-seed, $20M | [\[f4\]](#company-detail-sources) |

### Products

| Product | What it does |
|---|---|
| Runtime Prevention | Stops zero-day exploits and malicious code before execution by comparing live application behavior against learned execution fingerprints, without code changes or signatures. |
| Runtime ADR | Application detection and response that observes execution down to libraries and call paths and traces each runtime attack to the owning code commit, author, and service. |
| Runtime AI-Agents | Discovers approved and shadow AI agents running inside production applications, monitors their behavior, and enforces policy before unsafe actions execute. |
| Runtime SCA | Runtime vulnerability management that uses function-level reachability to deprioritize vulnerabilities that never execute, cutting backlog noise by up to 99%. |
| Runtime Gatekeeper | CI/CD gatekeeper that enforces security policy during artifact and image build across containerized and VM-based environments before code reaches runtime. |

## Matrix Coverage

Mapped to the [Cyber Defense Matrix](https://cyberdefensematrix.com) [\[f1\]](#company-detail-sources):

| Asset | Identify | Protect | Detect | Respond | Recover |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Applications | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |  |

Raven Runtime Prevention blocks exploits before execution, Runtime ADR detects application-layer attacks and traces them to the owning code change, and Runtime SCA ranks vulnerabilities by runtime reachability. These capabilities are mapped to the Cyber Defense Matrix.
