Today we're excited to announce our investment in Gomboc AI, the industry's first deterministic AI solution for cloud security. With $13M in seed funding, Gomboc AI is eliminating security backlogs and transforming how security and DevOps teams fix cloud misconfigs and vulns — reducing remediation time from months to minutes. Co-founders Iftach Ian Amit and Matthew Sweeney built Gomboc AI to solve a massive problem: security teams are drowning in alerts, yet no solution fundamentally fixes issues without creating more tickets. Gomboc AI changes the game with a deterministic AI approach that provides precise, code-level fixes — automated, policy-driven, and developer-friendly. 📺 Learn more about the news and the company in the video interview below featuring Ballistic GP Roger Thornton and Gomboc CEO Iftach Ian Amit. 💡 Read the blog on why we invested: https://lnkd.in/g_UFFJCc #BallisticVentures #Cybersecurity #CloudSecurity #AI #DeterministicAI #VentureCapital
