Miru, a cybersecurity start-up founded by industry veterans from eBay, Meta and US and EU governments has come out of stealth with a $2.7m pre-seed funding round.
The raise was led by Dreamcraft, Cadenza and Seedcamp with participation from Inovia, Plug and Play, Notion and Alphagraph. The company intends to use the fresh funds to accelerate its R&D work and get its platform to consumers.
Founded in 2024, the San Francisco-based start-up offers a unified platform which gives analysts and AI agents tools to perform cybersecurity, trust and safety, and national security investigations.
The start-up, which is spread across Ireland, Hungary and the US, said that its founding team has “tackled the hardest challenges” in cybersecurity across their previous industry roles.
Co-founder Eoghan McKee has previously worked as a global technical investigations manager at eBay, a security engineer at Facebook and as the senior director of security operations at Circle.
While co-founder Quang Pham has worked at Circle as the principal security engineer, and co-founder David Pigott is an adjunct faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University and has worked as a chief information security officer.
According to Miru, the key issue in security operations is an abundance of data, siloed tools and “no clear way to connect the dots”.
McKee is based in Leitrim. He said: “By structuring data into a native graph powering deep link analysis, Miru gives AI the context to know which data to pull from, what tools to connect to and how to reason and counteract across it.
“That deterministic structure brings clarity to the inherently nondeterministic nature of investigations, making them faster, sharper and more reliable.”
According to McKee, Miru’s engineering base is in Europe, with a small hub in Ireland, which he says is “becoming an important anchor for our R&D”.
Miru’s ‘Agentic Dispatch’ enables fully autonomous investigations that scale across alerts and domains, explained lead investor Seedcamp.
“We couldn’t be more excited to lead Miru’s pre-seed. Eoghan, Dave and Quang have the hustle and pedigree to build the defining investigations tool for the AI era,” said Seedcamp investor Will Bennet.
“Right now, analysts jump between siloed tools without the ability to definitively understand how alerts and issues correlate.
“Miru not only builds the knowledge graph to bind this information but also offers the copilot to drive investigative success. It’s no surprise that Miru is already in the hands of the most ambitious investigative analysts,” he added.
