RapidFort, the technical leader defining the next generation of software supply chain security, announced $42 million in Series A funding led by Blue Cloud Ventures and Forgepoint Capital, with participation from prior lead investor Felicis Ventures. Additional participants include Alumni Ventures, Boulder Ventures, Brave Capital, Evolution Ventures, Florida Funders, Gaingels, and Mana Ventures.
This funding arrives at a defining moment for cybersecurity and software delivery. AI has dramatically accelerated how software is built and shipped, and attackers are moving just as fast. As the window between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation continues to shrink, organizations can’t rely on quarterly patch cycles, manual triage, or “scan-and-pray” security. RapidFort’s accelerating revenue momentum reflects the market’s shift toward continuous, automated vulnerability elimination. According to Verizon’s latest Data Breach Investigations Report, vulnerability exploitation now accounts for 20% of breaches, nearly matching credential abuse at 22%. The message is unmistakable: vulnerability management must shift from reactive detection to continuous elimination.
“Software teams are shipping faster than ever—and attackers are moving even faster. RapidFort is building what the market urgently needs: continuous vulnerability remediation that keeps pace with modern development. Their end-to-end platform doesn’t just surface risk—it eliminates it. We’re excited to partner with RapidFort as they define the next era of software supply chain security,” said Rami Rahal, Managing Partner at Blue Cloud Ventures.

A New Category: Continuous Remediation for the Software Supply Chain
RapidFort is setting a new standard: remediation at machine speed, built directly into the software delivery pipeline. RapidFort secures the entire software lifecycle—from build through runtime—by continuously analyzing, remediating, hardening, and protecting software artifacts so vulnerabilities don’t survive long enough to become incidents.
“The problem isn’t that organizations don’t know they have vulnerabilities, it’s that they can’t fix them fast enough,” said Mehran Farimani, Founder and CEO of RapidFort. “AI has accelerated software delivery and attacker capability at the same time. The window between disclosure and exploitation has collapsed. RapidFort exists to eliminate vulnerabilities continuously—at machine speed—before they reach production.”
RapidFort combines automated vulnerability remediation with one of the industry’s most comprehensive catalogs of hardened, near-zero-CVE container images across major Linux distributions, enabling teams to dramatically reduce risk in days, not months.
