Lyrie Raises $2M Pre-Seed to Build Security Layer for AI Agent Era, Exits Stealth Alongside TrustFall Research

Tech Startups·low signal

Agent security startup Lyrie.ai completed a $2M pre-seed round and exited stealth on May 11, positioning itself as the security layer between AI agents and the systems they interact with. The company gained immediate credibility by publishing the TrustFall vulnerability research demonstrating one-keypress RCE across all major coding agent CLIs. Lyrie's founding thesis: the current trust model for agentic tools is fundamentally broken, and a dedicated security layer must intercept and validate agent actions before execution.
