AI trust, safety, and security company Alice announced on Tuesday that it raised $140 million in a funding round to secure AI systems against emerging vulnerabilities and adversarial attacks.
The latest capital injection brings the firm’s total funding to $280 million, which will be used to further advance its AI platform, expand the team behind its proprietary intelligence dataset, and scale its go-to-market efforts.
The funding round was led by the Apax Digital Funds, with participation from MoreTech, Phoenix Financial, Resolute Ventures, Grove Ventures, CRV, Highland Europe, Vintage Investments, Norwest, NFX, and Claltech.
The company partners with AI developers to stress-test foundational models prior to public release. Its research division executes mock malicious inputs and complex agentic tasks to expose erratic behaviors, ultimately hardening the models against prompt injection and jailbreak attempts.
When models enter production, Alice offers continuous red-teaming and dynamic runtime guardrails to align operations with specific business rules. Organizations can configure custom internal guidelines, simulate breaches, and monitor system traffic in real time.
The company leverages a proprietary database named Rabbit Hole. This repository was constructed over almost a decade by tracking digital fraud, ideological extremism, and manipulation campaigns. By leveraging this vast archive of harmful content, the platform can detect and intercept hostile actions against generative AI systems.
