In another sign of the rapid shift from AI experimentation to real-world deployment, Israeli startup Anchor Browser has emerged from stealth with a $6 million Seed round led by Blumberg Capital and Gradient Ventures, Google\u2019s AI-focused investment arm.<\/p>\n
The round also included participation from Colin Evans, Head of VC and Startup Partnerships at OpenAI.<\/p>\n
Founded in 2024, Anchor is developing an infrastructure platform that allows AI agents to autonomously perform online operations, from data entry and order tracking to completing government forms, across public and private web systems. Its technology enables AI to interact directly with websites without relying on traditional APIs or scripts, which often limit automation\u2019s reliability and scalability.<\/p>\n
Anchor\u2019s software learns a digital task once, converts it into a structured workflow, and can execute it across millions of browser instances with minimal human intervention. The company says this approach creates a more stable and secure automation layer for enterprises deploying AI at scale.<\/p>\n
\u201cAgentic AI is only as useful as its ability to act in the real world, and in today\u2019s enterprise, that means acting on the web,\u201d said Idan Raman, Anchor\u2019s co-founder and CEO. \u201cMost of the web is still inaccessible to AI because it wasn\u2019t designed for machines. Our mission is to bridge that gap, reliably, securely, and at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n
Raman founded Anchor alongside Dor Dankner (CTO) and Guy Ben-Simhon (VP R&D) – all veterans of Unit 8200 with experience at SentinelOne, Noname Security, and BlinkOps.<\/p>\n
Despite its young age, the company says it already serves several paying customers, including high-profile startups such as Groq and Unify, which have integrated Anchor\u2019s technology into their operations. The startup employs nine people in Tel Aviv and plans to expand its R&D center in Israel while scaling its U.S. sales operations.<\/p>\n
