We’re out of stealth.
Today, we’re also announcing our Series A led by @sequoia , @8vc , and @A_StarVC , bringing our total funding to $30M+.
Every enterprise needs to teach their AI how to do work. We build agents that reverse engineer enterprise processes, then run them.

We've been lucky to work with Michelle since day one at Method.
Hard to think of a better first investor for founders building in defense.
Excited to see Pax come together!
Michelle Volz 🇺🇸🚀@MichelleVolz
Excited to officially announce the launch of Pax Fund I, a $50M early stage vehicle dedicated to founders transforming the foundational categories of society. 🇺🇸🚀 Wrote a bit about my journey and the thinking behind Pax below:

After 11 years at Palantir, I’m closing that chapter. Grateful for the missions, the people, and the path. Now it’s time to build something new. I’m joining TekStream as Chief Solutions Officer to advance our strategy and shape the future of our offerings. Onward.

U.S. Government cyber operators deserve both bleeding edge frontier models and world class software in order to supercharge their capabilities. We're delivering trustworthy autonomy to the mission environments where operators need it most.
Method Security@method_security
Method and OpenAI have formed a strategic partnership to deploy AI capabilities for U.S. National Security cyber missions. U.S. cyber operators defend the largest and most complex attack surfaces on earth. As adversaries weaponize AI at scale, national cyber readiness now depends on safely deploying autonomy to re-secure our critical institutions.Method and OpenAI are developing a joint solution for the Defense Department and Intelligence Community. By embedding OpenAI’s frontier models into Method’s cyber operations infrastructure, we’re delivering scalable, secure autonomy that powers resilience and gives defenders a force-multiplying advantage. method.security/blog/method-se…

Excited to announce Method's strategic partnership with OpenAI.
We believe autonomy will define the next era of national cyber defense. This partnership is building the infrastructure to deliver trusted AI capabilities to American cyber operators. 🇺🇸

Mark is the rare kind of investor who makes your mission his own.
Lucky to have him behind Method.

Today we announced our investment in @method_security, partnering with @___sjones, @dan__kelly, Sean and the incredible team to build the autonomous future for cybersecurity. A little story about how this happened… (1/5)

“I guarantee you the most sophisticated [nation-state] actors are not using vanilla Claude code to run their operations.
That’s ludicrous.
Our adversaries have better models at home that they make themselves.” @___sjones, CEO Method Security
Anthropic@AnthropicAI
We disrupted a highly sophisticated AI-led espionage campaign. The attack targeted large tech companies, financial institutions, chemical manufacturing companies, and government agencies. We assess with high confidence that the threat actor was a Chinese state-sponsored group.

Grateful for support from investors like @davidu @willbitsky @CraneMcrane @markscianna @fkerrest @philvenables @eaescob and @internet_meme

Excited to share what we've been working on at Method and announce our $26M in funding from Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Blackstone, and others.
I met @___sjones and Sean ten years ago at @PalantirTech.
We always talked about starting a company together, and when we saw how AI would shift the balance of power in security, we had no choice not to.
We started Method to build the tools that American cyber defenders need to achieve real resilience in the face of autonomous threats.
Two years in, we've put together an incredible team of engineers and operators to go after this mission and are deployed with some of the top security teams in the country.
We're grateful to be backed by investors like who believe that American cyber resilience is a challenge worth solving.
We are just getting started.
Method Security@method_security
Method is building autonomous cyber systems for the U.S. Government and critical enterprises. America is facing perpetual cyber conflict. With AI accelerating the speed and scale of attacks, U.S. cyber operators need new capabilities to stay ahead. Method is delivering those capabilities. We are building the command-and-control layer for autonomous cyber operations. Our products fuse offensive and defensive capabilities into a full-spectrum platform, enabling security teams to achieve true visibility, challenge their estates, and outpace their adversaries. Today, Method is deployed across the Defense Department, U.S. Federal Government, and Fortune 500. We've raised $26M from @a16z, @generalcatalyst, @blackstone and others. This funding accelerates our mission to equip the security teams defending what matters most.

I’ve never met a serious Bay Area founder
jack mcclelland@jackmmcclelland
got asked by an investor yesterday: why do bay area founders seem more ambitious than east coast founders? i suggested: perhaps there's some truth to it, or maybe sf founders are better at "playing the game" and saying the right things to say to vc’s…

Today, we’re excited to share that we’re backing @method_security as they come out of stealth.
With adversaries using AI to scale threats to new magnitudes, the American government and other critical US institutions are not equipped for today’s cyber conflicts.
Method integrates diverse data sources into a digital twin, providing security teams with complete visibility and allowing for sophisticated simulations of autonomous attacks.

@method_security out of stealth today and tackling one of the hardest problems in national security.
Cyber offense is scaling to infinity as adversaries weaponize AI into machine-speed attacks. Method Security provides enterprises autonomous systems to counter these persistent threats, built by a founding team from Palantir, Shield AI, NSA, USAF, CrowdStrike, Microsoft, and AWS.
Proud to back @dan__kelly, @___sjones, Sean and team!

2013 me was lucky to meet @___sjones as a student at cornell
2025 me was lucky to join the @a16z team that backed his company @method_security
congrats guys, huge day

Team and mission. When trying to build something ambitious from scratch nothing else comes close to mattering as much as those two things. This mission is very personal to me - we are building the capabilities I wish I had when I started my career as a cyber operator in the US Government. It is an absolute honor to be doing that as part of this incredible team. Securing what matters requires us to innovate on both technology and business model. It will not be easy, but this is the team to do it. Onward.

Last week, Anthropic's report revealed what America's top cyber operators already knew:
Our adversaries are weaponizing AI to automate attacks on our vital institutions at scale.
American cyber resilience is no longer optional.

We believe this is the first documented case of a large-scale AI cyberattack executed without substantial human intervention. It has significant implications for cybersecurity in the age of AI agents.
