# Prevalent AI Raises $22M from Integrity Growth Partners

> Prevalent AI, a UK cybersecurity firm founded in 2017 by former GCHQ and Darktrace leaders, has raised 22 million dollars from Los Angeles-based Integrity Growth Partners. The notable detail is timing: it is the company's first outside primary capital in a nine-year history, meaning the founders built the business to this point without institutional funding. The company is using the round to expand beyond its cybersecurity roots into broader enterprise risk, positioning its data fabric platform as a way to give organizations trusted, connected context about their own operations. The money is earmarked for a US go-to-market push, leadership hires, and extending the product. Bootstrapped security companies with pedigreed founders are a quietly interesting corner of the AI funding story. Rather than raising early and often, Prevalent grew first and took capital later, on its own terms. Its expansion from threat defense into enterprise context reflects where a lot of security tooling is heading, toward platforms that understand the whole business rather than just the perimeter.
