Shieldbase, an enterprise AI operating system startup, has raised new funding in a round led by GenAI Fund and First Move, with participation from Tenity and several notable angel investors. The fresh capital will power Shieldbase’s regional expansion across Asia-Pacific and fuel the launch of new tools to address one of the enterprise AI sector’s most pressing issues: fragmentation and lack of governance.
As more organizations adopt a growing number of AI tools and agent-based systems, they often face a chaotic technology stack — with platforms that fail to communicate effectively, leading to siloed data, duplicated efforts, and suboptimal return on investment. Shieldbase aims to solve this challenge with its AI operating system, a unified orchestration layer described as the “Cursor for the Workplace.”
The platform integrates data, applications, and AI agents into a single intelligent environment. With modular architecture that allows for white-label and on-premise deployments, Shieldbase can be implemented within hours — a major advantage for enterprises looking for fast, scalable, and secure AI adoption.
“Our mission at Shieldbase is to break through AI silos and empower enterprises to unlock a new era of intelligent operations — where every system, tool, and agent works in harmony to drive speed, clarity, and strategic advantage,” said Diego Rojas, CEO and Co-founder of Shieldbase. “With the backing of GenAI Fund, First Move, and our incredible angel investors, we’re transforming fragmented AI stacks into a unified operating system that delivers real impact — from automation and governance to measurable business outcomes.”
The new funding round comes at a time when organizations are grappling with the complexity of integrating disparate AI tools. Shieldbase offers an alternative: a system-wide infrastructure layer that enables AI tools to work together seamlessly.
“Enterprise AI isn’t broken because of too few tools — it’s broken because the tools don’t talk to each other,” said Audra Pakalnyte, General Partner at First Move. “Shieldbase is building the infrastructure layer that turns fragmented AI pilots into unified and high-impact workflows. This is exactly the kind of bold, first-mover thinking we back.”
Denning Tan, Partner at GenAI Fund, added: “What sets Shieldbase apart is their understanding that AI fragmentation is the single biggest barrier to success in enterprise AI. While others build more tools, Shieldbase has built the operating system that makes all tools work together.”
Already deployed across several sectors, Shieldbase is demonstrating tangible business outcomes. In healthcare, the company reports that data ingestion and processing workflows that once took days are now completed within minutes. A financial institution reclaimed hours of productivity per day by leveraging AI-powered search across decades of siloed data. In manufacturing and heavy industries, Shieldbase’s platform is enabling the shift from reactive to predictive operations, helping companies optimize costs and open new revenue streams.
This traction underscores the need for orchestration over experimentation in AI deployments — a direction Shieldbase is aggressively pursuing.
With its latest round of funding, Shieldbase plans to deepen its footprint in Asia-Pacific while rolling out new platform enhancements. Upcoming features include improved MCP connectors, advanced data synthesis capabilities, and ready-to-deploy automation blueprints that simplify AI implementation and shorten time-to-value.
As enterprises continue to wrestle with the complexity of AI transformation, Shieldbase positions itself as the connective tissue that brings coherence, control, and business value to increasingly fragmented AI ecosystems.
For organizations looking to consolidate their AI strategies and unlock greater operational efficiency, Shieldbase is extending invitations to explore partnership opportunities and experience the benefits of unified AI infrastructure.
