# Patronus AI Raises $50M Series B

> Patronus AI has raised a $50 million Series B led by Greenfield Partners, bringing its total funding to $70 million, with backing from Notable Capital, Lightspeed, Datadog and Samsung. The company's pitch is timely: it builds digital worlds to stress-test AI agents before they are turned loose on real tasks. As companies rush to deploy autonomous agents that can click, type and make decisions, the risk of those agents failing in weird or costly ways grows too. Patronus creates controlled simulation environments where an agent can be probed, poked and pushed to break, so its weaknesses surface in a sandbox rather than in production. It is an unglamorous but essential corner of the AI stack, and the investor interest reflects a growing realization that shipping agents without rigorous testing is a liability. As agents move from demos to real deployments, the tools that validate them are becoming their own market.
