ON 3 February 2026, RapidFort announced that it has raised $42 million in a Series A funding round to accelerate the development of its automated vulnerability elimination technology. The investment was led by Blue Cloud Ventures and Forgepoint Capital, with participation from Felicis Ventures, Alumni Ventures, Boulder Ventures, Brave Capital, Evolution Ventures, Florida Funders, Gaingels, and Mana Ventures.
RapidFort, a San Francisco-based software supply chain security firm, says it will use the new capital to scale its go-to-market efforts and expand its platform’s capabilities, which span three steps: scanning and profiling containers in the CI/CD pipeline to generate a Software Bill of Materials and identify unused packages, and supplying a catalogue of thousands of curated, near-zero-CVE container images built on major Linux distributions.
The firm claims its runtime intelligence further reduces the attack surface by removing components never executed, with less than 1% compute overhead and compliance with FedRAMP and CMMC. RapidFort founder and CEO Mehran Farimani said the company aims to eliminate vulnerabilities continuously—at machine speed—before they reach production.
