We started Arda in 2025 to speed up American manufacturing. We have spent the last year building with Anduril as our design partner. Today we are launching the company publicly on CNBC and announcing our Series A: $160M at a $1.5B valuation.

Our platform helps manufacturers design and operate manual assembly lines, putting designs into production faster now. Next we'll build automated lines that can be reconfigured as quickly as human workers, letting America make products that now require armies of workers in Asia.

I'm hiring my next Chief of Staff. You won’t know every field I work in. What matters is how quickly you learn, the questions you ask, and whether you can think from first principles. You’ll help evaluate opportunities and work with founders building consequential companies. Technical background preferred. Three-year commitment. Menlo Park, in person.

Nobody ever wanted a ticket. They want their problem solved.

Today @HajarnisSanjeet I are beyond excited to announce our $4M seed round for @decimalcx, co-led by @khoslaventures and @kearnyjackson to bring engineering-level understanding to every customer interaction.

Since inception, we’ve partnered with some of the best AI-native companies: @meetgranola, Omnea, Resilinc, @tealium, @GoBuildOps, @Lucidworks and a Fortune 5 company to help their support and engineering teams resolve customer problems.

Excited for the world to see what @CormaAI and @AlonPluda has been building. Novel defense needed to match the exponential rise on offensive AI capabilities . @khoslaventures

Alon Pluda Verified account @AlonPluda Aug 10

Today we are announcing Corma, and our $60M seed round led by @sequoia.

@CormaAI is building foundation models toward superintelligence for defensive cybersecurity. We do that because general AI is becoming exponentially more capable in offensive security, while it hasn't been able to improve at the same rate in cyber defense - creating an inherent imbalance between attackers and defenders that otherwise cannot be addressed.

Recent events have shown that building frontier AI models for defensive cybersecurity is one of the crucial unsolved problems of the AI age - and solving it is the generational mission Corma was founded on.

Our foundation model has already far surpassed every general-purpose frontier model on defensive cybersecurity tasks, and we are committed to remaining the frontier of defensive cybersecurity intelligence.

Corma is already protecting Fortune 100 companies and some of the world's most important organizations, across healthcare, finance, critical infrastructure, retail, and more. This is just the beginning, as we see it as our calling to protect every organization in the world that needs frontier defense.

We are grateful to our partners @shaunmmaguire and @sonyatweetybird at @sequoia , @vkhosla at @khoslaventures , @DanRose999 at @coatuemgmt , and @Weiner_Lia at Netz Capital, who believed in our ability to lead the intelligence race in cybersecurity and make sure the defenders always win.
