Amplifier Security - Seed Round

$5.6M Raised

When the world’s still handing out gold stars for keeping users out of security, Amplifier Security just took a wrecking ball to that outdated script. Forget the playbook, these folks didn’t just toss it, they Amplified it.

Let’s start with the facts, because facts matter. Founded in February 2023 by Shreyas Sadalgi and Thomas Donnelly, these two veterans didn’t roll out of bed one day and decide to build another “me too” security firm. Nah, Shreyas, with 20+ years of steering product and strategy in enterprise security, knew where the gaps were. Thomas? He’s been CISO and CIO three times over, this guy’s forgotten more about security than most folks ever learn. Together, they’re building something different, and they’re doing it from the heart of Atlanta, with a pulse running through San Francisco. Coast-to-coast, but zero time for coasting.

Amplifier’s game? Autonomous user security. Sounds like a mouthful, but here’s the breakdown: they’re putting employees in the driver’s seat of security without stepping on productivity’s toes. Their AI powered platform flips the old model, users aren’t just the risk, they’re part of the fix. Real-time remediation, zero babysitting, and no more waiting days for someone to click that “secure now” button they never saw.

And it’s working. $5.6M says so. That’s the fresh Seed round cash led by TechOperators, with Cota Capital and WestWave Capital backing the play. Heavy hitters like Brian NeSmith (Arctic Wolf), Ash Devata (GreyNoise Intelligence), Shawn Bass (Citrix, Cloud Software Group), and Kabir Barday (OneTrust) are in too. When names like that bet on you, it ain’t charity, it’s because you’re about to shift the terrain.

With 15+ companies already riding shotgun as design partners, Amplifier’s not just talking, they’re doing. Private betas, real results: hours slashed from spreadsheet hell, blind spots in tools lit up like Times Square, and security issues fixing themselves before IT even hears the word “breach.”

And don’t sleep on “Ampy.” This isn’t Clippy 2.0. Ampy’s the AIsecurity buddy that’s got jokes, knows risks, and guides users through Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chrome, or Email, wherever you work, it works.

Now, they’re turning it up with a Jamf partnership, automating OS updates and compliance while letting users pick the when and how. Plus, they’re dropping a free tier for Jamf customers, Smart Group automations, unlimited, no strings. Oh, and they’ll be at RSA Conference, April 28-30. Go see what’s next.
