Mondoo has announced a new $17.5 million funding round, bringing its total investment to $32.5 million. The round was led by HV Capital with participation from T.Capital, Atomico, Firstminute Capital, and System.One. The company positions itself as the pioneer of Agentic Vulnerability Management—a next-generation approach to security that eliminates vulnerabilities rather than simply categorizing them. This investment will help Mondoo accelerate go-to-market operations, expand into the U.S. and EMEA, and strengthen partnerships.
The momentum behind Mondoo has been striking. In the past year, the company achieved 7x revenue growth, expanded its customer base by 4.4x, and surpassed revenue targets by 62%. This performance underscores both the growing urgency of vulnerability management and the limits of traditional tools. With over 40,000 CVEs reported in 2024 alone—a 39% year-on-year increase—security teams face a deluge of alerts that siloed tools fail to address effectively. As attackers adopt AI to weaponize vulnerabilities within hours, the case for Mondoo’s proactive, AI-native approach becomes stronger.
Mondoo’s platform is built on a structured, context-aware AI model that delivers what the company calls Fix Now. Fix Forever.™. Instead of overwhelming teams with alerts, Mondoo applies context to identify which issues matter most, then automates the workflow from detection to remediation. Its agentic AI continuously monitors across cloud, on-prem, SaaS, and endpoints; prioritizes based on exploitability and business impact; and produces transparent remediation code that integrates with ITSM systems. Issues are automatically tracked, closed, and reopened if drift reappears, ensuring vulnerabilities do not recur.
The system rests on three pillars: Agentic Prioritization, which cuts through alert fatigue by focusing on real business impact; Agentic Orchestration, which integrates seamlessly with ITSM to reduce friction between security and engineering; and Agentic Remediation, which delivers tested fixes via Ansible, Terraform, or Intune, with pipelines that enable review, rollback, and governance. This combination shortens remediation from weeks to hours, without sacrificing control.
The company has already attracted marquee customers, including Deutsche Telekom AG, a leading U.S. automotive manufacturer, and a Fortune 10 technology giant. Thomas Tschersich, CEO of Telekom Security and CSO of Deutsche Telekom, has joined Mondoo as an advisor, reinforcing its credibility in enterprise cybersecurity. Investors also see Mondoo’s approach as category-defining. HV Capital’s Barbod Namini emphasized the measurable ROI in cutting mean time to remediate, while Atomico’s Sasha Vidiborskiy highlighted the balance of speed and safety that agentic AI introduces to enterprise security.
Mondoo’s message is clear: attackers exploit weaknesses in hours, and defenders can no longer afford weeks. By embedding agentic AI into the vulnerability management lifecycle, the company aims to set a new global standard. This funding marks not just a milestone in Mondoo’s growth but also a signal that agentic approaches—combining autonomy, context, and governance—are rapidly reshaping the future of cybersecurity.
