Bay Raises $50 Million to Secure Enterprise AI Agents with Runtime Control Plane

Tel Aviv-based Bay has emerged from stealth after raising $50 million in funding, including a $37 million Series A led by Battery Ventures and a $13 million seed round led by YL Ventures and Striker Venture Partners. Founded in February 2026 by Yuval Zacharia, Boris Danilovich, and Aner Morag, all alumni of Israeli Military Intelligence Unit 8200, the company addresses the challenge of unpredictable AI agent behavior in enterprise environments. Bay offers a single control plane that automatically discovers agents, coding assistants, MCP servers, skills, extensions, and local models while mapping their connections and risky tool combinations. Its Enforcer component evaluates every proposed action in the context of the full agent session, deciding in milliseconds whether to allow, refer, redirect, or deny the action based on policies generated by the embedded Lighthouse AI system. The funding will support product development, engineering expansion, and go-to-market efforts in the US and Europe, with the long-term goal of becoming the core control layer for organizations deploying autonomous AI agents at scale.
