Corma

@AlonPluda @sequoia @CormaAI Excited to partner! Onwards.

We led @CormaAI's seed, following @vkhosla who saw its potential before us (and led the pre-seed)

@AlonPluda is a generational cyber talent -- I'm not saying this lightly -- and we're already seeing this play out with customers

Also, as a total aside, it has been fun to team w/ my partner @sonyatweetybird!

Two years ago we disagreed on almost everything and now we have a mind meld 🤣

Cybersecurity is the ultimate venue for real-world RL: 2p0s game, sim-able, clean reward signals

Cybersecurity in a year will be fought between swarms of good and bad playing an exceptionally fast, constantly evolving adversarial game of cat-and-mouse, running on the fastest and cheapest tokens possible.

With Mythos & GPT-6 rolling out, the stakes have never been higher to protect the good guys.

@CormaAI is building a foundation model for the good guys. LFG!

From secret message boards

To cancelling gym appointments

To jailbreaking onto the open internet

If the last few weeks taught us anything, it's that security is the next frontier of AI

@CormaAI is on the bleeding edge here, and it's finally out of stealth

You will hear A LOT MORE from this company... they've had some major wins over the last quarter

@sequoia is thrilled to lead this round, following @vkhosla who got there before us!

Working w/ my partners @sonyatweetybird, @jamesfly and @carl_eschenbach

Today we are announcing Corma, and our $60M seed round led by @sequoia.

@CormaAI is building foundation models toward superintelligence for defensive cybersecurity. We do that because general AI is becoming exponentially more capable in offensive security, while it hasn't been able to improve at the same rate in cyber defense - creating an inherent imbalance between attackers and defenders that otherwise cannot be addressed.

Recent events have shown that building frontier AI models for defensive cybersecurity is one of the crucial unsolved problems of the AI age - and solving it is the generational mission Corma was founded on.

Our foundation model has already far surpassed every general-purpose frontier model on defensive cybersecurity tasks, and we are committed to remaining the frontier of defensive cybersecurity intelligence.

Corma is already protecting Fortune 100 companies and some of the world's most important organizations, across healthcare, finance, critical infrastructure, retail, and more. This is just the beginning, as we see it as our calling to protect every organization in the world that needs frontier defense.

We are grateful to our partners @shaunmmaguire and @sonyatweetybird at @sequoia , @vkhosla at @khoslaventures , @DanRose999 at @coatuemgmt , and @Weiner_Lia at Netz Capital, who believed in our ability to lead the intelligence race in cybersecurity and make sure the defenders always win.
