Vijil announced today $17 million in funding led by Brightmind Partners with participation from Mayfield and Gradient, bringing the company’s total funding to $23 million. The new funding round will be used to accelerate deployments of the Vijil platform, which continuously improves the resilience of AI agents. The company was recently recognized as a Gartner® Cool Vendor in the 2025 Cool Vendors™ in Agentic AI Trust, Risk and Security Management (TRiSM) report. 

SmartRecruiters is one of the organizations using Vijil software to shorten time-to-trust by 75%. “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.”

Enterprises struggle to bring AI agents into production because teams lack the expertise, tools, or bandwidth to ensure reliability, security, and governance at scale. Vijil provides a modular platform to build, test, deploy, and continuously improve the intrinsic resilience of agents with reinforcement learning on production telemetry. As a result, developers increase success rates, business owners shorten time-to-value, security leaders reduce operational risk, and enterprises reduce time-to-trust.

“Vijil has assembled a seasoned team with deep experience of having built AI infrastructure at AWS,” said Stephen Ward, general partner at Brightmind. “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.”

“Most enterprises are experimenting with AI agents but only a small fraction are scaling them,” said Vijay Reddy, partner at Mayfield. “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.”

“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.”
