Fleuret AI Raises €4M For Continuous AI Pentesting Platform
Tech.eu reported that French startup Fleuret AI raised €4 million in pre-seed funding to develop an agentic-AI platform that turns penetration testing into a continuous security process.
Fleuret AI has raised €4 million to build an agentic-AI platform for continuous penetration testing, Tech.eu reported, moving the French startup into a funding lane shaped by demand for more frequent security checks.
RAISE Ventures led the pre-seed round.
The investor group also includes Better Angle, Wind, Auriga Cyber Ventures and cybersecurity-sector business angels, giving the company early backing for a product that tries to change how offensive security work is scheduled and repeated.
Traditional penetration tests often operate as point-in-time audits.
A company receives a snapshot of exposed systems and weaknesses, then returns to normal development cycles where new deployments can quickly alter the attack surface.
Fleuret AI’s pitch is that the test should not end when the audit report is delivered.
The platform is being built around five linked functions: discovering exposed assets, finding weaknesses, proving whether an exploit is practical, guiding remediation work and checking that fixes have actually closed the issue.
That structure makes the funding story less about a generic AI security tool and more about turning pentesting into an operating process.
Two AI agents, Emile and Champollion, sit at the center of the workflow.
They chart the customer environment, inspect software interfaces and underlying infrastructure, then test whether flagged weaknesses can be turned into compromise.
Each finding is meant to include exploit evidence so security teams can separate theoretical exposure from demonstrated risk.
The same system is designed to keep watching the attack surface when the customer environment changes.
Fleuret AI is also building remediation support, including vulnerability prioritisation based on exploitability, connections to technical teams’ existing tools, automatic retesting and reports that confirm whether vulnerabilities have been fixed.
Yanis Grigy, Fleuret AI’s chief executive and co-founder, framed the goal as a year-round offensive cybersecurity layer rather than a simple automation wrapper for existing pentesting.
The funding gives the startup resources to accelerate development for enterprise environments.
The company is aiming first at Europe, where regulated customers may weigh both security testing and infrastructure sovereignty.
Fleuret AI runs the agents on infrastructure in Europe, a positioning it links to sovereignty requirements in highly regulated sectors.
The new capital is earmarked for hiring across AI, software development and offensive cybersecurity while the company accelerates platform development.
