Tel Aviv-based Sola Security has closed a $35 million Series A round led by returning investor S32, with participation from Microsoft’s M12, New Era Capital Partners, and other existing backers.
This latest funding follows the company’s $30 million seed round last year, bringing total capital raised to $65 million. Founded in 2024 by Guy Flechter and Ron Peled, Sola is on a mission to transform how organisations build and deploy security solutions, delivering an AI-powered assistant that simplifies automation and orchestration across complex security environments.
The company’s founding story stems from a deep frustration with the fragmented, costly, and slow-moving nature of traditional security infrastructure. Flechter, who co-founded and led Cider Security before its $300 million acquisition by Palo Alto Networks, and Peled, former Global CISO at LivePerson, launched Sola to empower security teams to build custom defences quickly without requiring coding expertise or tying themselves to cumbersome vendor ecosystems.
“We’re building the go-to platform for creating security solutions, with Sola AI turning ideas into instant, customizable defences without the complexity, cost, or vendor locking that has held teams back for decades. Just as design, payments, and collaboration were reimagined by the likes of Canva, Stripe, and Figma, we’re redefining how cybersecurity challenges are solved. Our industry needs to move faster and to do what needs to be done so solutions are simple, lightweight, and tailored to specific needs. We’re thrilled to be leading the charge,” Flechter says.
Sola’s platform enables security practitioners to build bespoke apps and automations across identity management, cloud security, posture management, compliance, and more without writing a line of code. Since its stealth reveal six months ago, more than 2,000 users have created over 1,000 custom security apps, highlighting a strong appetite for accessible, DIY cybersecurity tools.
Wesley Tillu, Partner at S32, noted, “Sola is redefining what’s possible in cybersecurity. By combining deep industry experience with a bold vision for AI-driven innovation, the team is building a platform that will transform how security challenges are solved for years to come.”
Todd Graham, Managing Partner at M12, added: “ Sola is transforming cybersecurity as we know it and ushering it into the age of AI. In just a year, the team has already shown the vision and execution to make that transformation real. Sola is exactly the kind of company we love working with: a founding team with an extraordinary vision, a product that proves itself quickly, and a team that sees opportunity in every challenge.”
With the new capital, Sola plans to deepen its AI capabilities and expand its no-code platform to make security solution-building as user-friendly and dynamic as designing on Canva or integrating payments with Stripe. The startup aims to lower technical barriers and cost, enabling organisations of all sizes to take control of their cybersecurity with faster, tailored solutions.
