Vijil announced it has raised US$ 17 million in a new funding round, bringing its total capital raised to US$ 23 million. The round was led by BrightMind Partners, with participation from Mayfield and Gradient Ventures. The funds will be used to accelerate deployments of the Vijil platform, which is designed to continuously enhance the resilience and safety of AI agents deployed in enterprise environments.
In parallel with this funding announcement, Gartner named Vijil a “Cool Vendor” in its 2025 Cool Vendors™ in Agentic AI Trust, Risk and Security Management (TRiSM) report underscoring the rising demand for robust frameworks to manage trust, risk, and security in agentic AI.
Customer Momentum and Market Need
SmartRecruiters one of Vijil’s early enterprise customers reports dramatic improvements in AI-agent deployment timelines: “Our enterprise customers demand trust verification before deploying AI in hiring workflows,” said Michal Nowak, Senior Vice President of Engineering at SmartRecruiters. “Vijil helps us ship AI agents in six weeks instead of six months while dramatically lowering compliance costs.”
In many organizations, bringing AI agents into production remains challenging due to the lack of tools and expertise needed to ensure reliability, governance, and security at scale. Vijil addresses this gap by offering a modular platform that enables teams to build, test, deploy, and continuously harden AI agents even after deployment using reinforcement learning informed by production telemetry. As a result, enterprises can increase success rates, reduce operational risks and compliance costs, and achieve greater “time-to-trust.”

Backer Confidence and Strategic Vision
“Vijil has assembled a seasoned team with deep experience of having built AI infrastructure at AWS,” said Stephen Ward, General Partner at BrightMind Partners. “What sets Vijil apart is the ability to continuously harden AI agents through reinforcement learning. Vijil doesn’t just secure AI agents; it helps them adapt and evolve.”
Echoing that sentiment, Mayfield’s Partner Vijay Reddy commented: “Most enterprises are experimenting with AI agents but only a small fraction are scaling them. The biggest barrier is trust, which point solutions cannot overcome. Vijil is the most comprehensive platform to solve this with continuous learning from observability data.”
For Vijil, the investment and recognition by analysts mark a pivotal moment. “The adoption by customers, integration with partners, support of investors, and recognition by industry analysts validate our vision,” said Vin Sharma, Founder and CEO of Vijil. “Vijil delivers the essential infrastructure layer that enterprises need now to trust AI agents in production.”
