Unframe secures an additional $50 million from Highland Europe, reaching a total contract value of $100 million within a year.
The enterprise AI delivery platform led by Shay Levi has doubled its total funding to $100 million and is reporting impressive figures, including a 400% net revenue retention rate, positioning it among the top decile of enterprise software companies. Unframe, the managed AI delivery platform based in Cupertino and co-founded by Shay Levi, has secured an additional $50 million in funding, led by Highland Europe, as announced on Monday.
Returning investors include Bessemer Venture Partners, Craft Ventures, TLV Partners, Third Point Ventures, Cerca Partners, and Vintage Investment Partners. This funding round increases the company’s total capital to $100 million within just 14 months of operation.
While the funding amount is significant, the more noteworthy aspect is the customer success claim. Unframe states it has achieved over $100 million in total contract value in the past year with a 400% net revenue retention rate, serving Fortune 500 companies across various regions.
The growth model described by Unframe illustrates a scenario where enterprises face certain operational challenges, leading the company to provide a customized production-grade solution in a matter of days, resulting in increased contract value as additional use cases are incorporated by the same client.
“Every enterprise we speak with has a backlog of high-impact AI use cases and nearly nothing in production,” stated CEO Shay Levi. “We established Unframe to bridge the gap between ambition and execution.”
The way Unframe is positioned serves as both a category and a product. The platform presents itself as the managed delivery layer that connects an enterprise's AI aspirations with chosen foundational models, serving as a clear alternative to the do-it-yourself and systems integrator routes that many Fortune 500 companies have relied on over the last eighteen months.
Levi’s previous accomplishments add credibility to the offering. He co-founded API-security firm Noname Security, which was acquired by Akamai in 2024 for approximately $450 million, according to Calcalist Tech. Larissa Schneider serves as the chief operating officer, while Adi Azarya oversees R&D. The company emerged from stealth mode in April 2025 with an previously undisclosed $50 million round.
The new lead investor indicates a shift in the company’s geographic focus and customer demographics. Highland Europe, a growth-stage firm based in London investing its fifth fund of €1 billion, has backed notable European industry leaders like Wolt, GetYourGuide, WeTransfer, Nexthink, ContentSquare, and Malwarebytes.
Jacob Bernstein, the principal at Highland Europe involved in the deal, highlighted the importance of the investment: “Moving from idea to something that works in production is where most initiatives face challenges. Unframe is bridging that gap.” Unframe operates from office locations in Tel Aviv and Berlin, in addition to its Cupertino headquarters.
The customer references in the announcement tend to lean towards service and consulting clients rather than solely enterprise software customers. The company positions itself against the build-versus-buy decision, featuring a quote from Phillip Lockhard, chief digital officer and partner at Credera, a consulting firm.
Lockhard emphasized: “Scaling AI requires a thoughtful build, buy, or borrow strategy. For us, Unframe offers a clear purchasing option, with reusable foundations that significantly reduce the time to impact.” This suggests that Unframe is vying for the consulting budget typically allocated for custom integrations with major firms.
The competitive landscape for this funding round is notably crowded. Dust secured $40 million last week with its 'multiplayer AI' concept for enterprise teams; OpenAI's Tomoro acquisition aimed at establishing a $14 billion ‘Deployment Company’ structure to target the same delivery services budget; Anthropic introduced ten financial services agent templates earlier this month and solidified distribution through Microsoft 365 and Snowflake.
Thus, the buyers Unframe target now have a wider range of delivery-layer options than ever before and are expected to conduct comparative trials through 2026.
Unframe did not disclose details on run-rate revenue, gross margin, or named Fortune 500 clients beyond the reference from Credera. The reported $100 million TCV is based on contracted values over the past twelve months rather than recurring revenue, and the impressive 400% net revenue retention figure is an internal measure not verified by third parties.
The company indicated that it will utilize the funding to enhance delivery capacity, invest further in its platform, and expand its senior leadership team.
