Funding Obtained: AI-based Cloud Infrastructure Platform Secures $21 Million in Series A Financing
E2B, a provider of open-source cloud infrastructure designed specifically for AI agents, has announced that it has secured $21 million in Series A funding. The funding round was led by Insight Partners and supported by Decibel, Sunflower Capital, Kaya, and angel investor Scott Johnston.
With this investment, E2B aims to expand its cloud offerings and scale its global enterprise teams. The company's goal remains to equip AI agents with safe, scalable, and highly performant cloud infrastructure.
E2B's cloud infrastructure features secure, sandboxed cloud environments that enable autonomous AI agents to perform complex, multi-step tasks efficiently and safely. The infrastructure is open-source, facilitating enterprise customization and integration with other infrastructure providers.
Key benefits of E2B's platform include:
- Security and safety: Sandboxed environments isolate AI agents, reducing risks in executing autonomous tasks.
- Scalability and high performance: The infrastructure supports rapid scaling, allowing agents to operate reliably at enterprise scale, including on legacy infrastructure not designed for agentic use.
- Accelerated innovation and workflow efficiency: Companies like Hugging Face and Perplexity leverage E2B's platform to manage AI workflows securely and speed up deployment cycles.
- Enterprise adoption: 88% of Fortune 100 companies have signed up, signaling trust and validation for E2B’s agent-centric cloud model.
- Open-source interoperability: E2B’s stack enables extensibility and customization, positioning it as the emerging standard runtime infrastructure for AI agents in enterprise settings.
Vasek Mlejnsky, Co-founder and CEO of E2B, declares that E2B aims to provide the standard runtime infrastructure for the new era of work. He believes that the future of enterprise productivity is agent-driven and that E2B's platform will be the cornerstone of secure and scalable AI adoption.
Praveen Akkiraju, Managing Director at Insight Partners, expresses excitement about backing E2B's visionary team. He believes that E2B's rapid growth and enterprise adoption are significant achievements and that the company is well-positioned to lead the agent-driven future of work.
E2B's cloud infrastructure provides every AI agent with its own dedicated cloud "computer" to think and act autonomously, much like how iPhone apps rely on iOS to operate. With the new funding, E2B is poised to continue its mission of revolutionizing the way AI agents are deployed and managed in enterprise settings.
