We’re thrilled to share that Crogl has officially launched out of stealth, announcing $30 million in funding and the debut of an autonomous AI platform built to supercharge security operations.
Designed as an “Iron Man suit” for security analysts, Crogl helps security teams triage, investigate, and understand alerts at scale—without adding headcount. The company is already in deployment across Fortune 100 enterprises and government organizations, delivering real-world results where alert fatigue, burnout, and limited resources are constant challenges.
The $30M raise includes a $25M Series A led by Menlo Ventures—early backers of Anthropic—and a $5M seed round led by Tola Capital. The investment will help accelerate Crogl’s product roadmap and expand access to its rapidly growing customer base.
Founded by Monzy Merza (former Security VP at Splunk and Databricks), David Dorsey, and Brad Lovering, Crogl was born out of decades of real-world experience in building security tools and listening to the day-to-day challenges faced by SOC teams. Monzy’s vision was shaped not just by years in cybersecurity leadership roles, but by returning to the frontlines—working in a large enterprise SOC to understand pain points from the inside out.
At the heart of Crogl is a proprietary “Knowledge Engine”—a security-specific intelligence layer that combines the depth of human analysis with the scale and speed of AI. The platform not only surfaces suspicious activity, it continuously learns from patterns and provides SOC teams with natural language interfaces to ask questions, analyze trends, and make faster, smarter decisions.
“Security teams don’t need another dashboard—they need a force multiplier,” said Merza, “Crogl is designed to make every analyst exponentially more effective, using AI that thinks and learns like they do.”
Tim Tully, Menlo Ventures Partner and former CTO of Splunk, called Crogl “a mapping of Monzy’s security brain,” and said the team behind Crogl is one of the most experienced he’s seen in the space. After watching the platform in action, he knew he had to invest.
Crogl is now actively onboarding new customers. Organizations looking to bring AI-powered scale to their SOC can learn more or request access at www.crogl.com.
