Pulse Security Raises $8M Seed
Pulse Security, based in San Francisco, is a cybersecurity company that has launched from stealth with $8M in seed funding to provide an operational management platform for security leaders. The company aims to replace manual, spreadsheet-based program management with an AI-driven platform that integrates enterprise security risk, technical environments, and regulatory obligations.
This funding round was led by Foundation Capital, a venture capital firm focused on early-stage technology companies, with participation from Zetta Venture Partners.
The company will use the capital to accelerate its engineering efforts and expand its go-to-market operations to meet the enterprise demand for modernized security program management.
Founded in 2026 by Mike Armistead, Robert Hipps, and Nick Gilligan, Pulse Security offers an operational management platform designed to help CISOs manage security programs. By using a context graph architecture, the platform connects technical silos, such as EDR and cloud data, with organizational risk and business strategy to enable automated workflows and clearer leadership visibility.
