Israeli startup Anchor Browser has come out of stealth mode and raised $6 million in Seed funding, led by Blumberg Capital and Gradient Ventures, Google’s AI investment arm. This shows how quickly AI is moving from testing stages to real-world use.
The funding round also included investment from Colin Evans, who is the Head of VC and Startup Partnerships at OpenAI.
Founded in 2024, Anchor is building a platform that lets AI agents carry out online tasks on their own. These tasks include things like data entry, tracking orders, and filling out government forms on both public and private websites.
The company’s technology allows AI to work directly with websites instead of depending on APIs or scripts, which often make automation less reliable and harder to scale.
Anchor’s software can learn how to do a digital task once, turn it into a step-by-step workflow, and then repeat it across millions of browsers with very little help from humans. The company says this makes automation more stable, secure, and easier to use for businesses that want to use AI on a large scale.
“Agentic AI is only as useful as its ability to act in the real world, and in today’s enterprise, that means acting on the web,” said Idan Raman, Anchor’s co-founder and CEO. “Most of the web is still inaccessible to AI because it wasn’t designed for machines. Our mission is to bridge that gap, reliably, securely, and at scale.”
Raman started Anchor with Dor Dankner (CTO) and Guy Ben-Simhon (VP of R&D). All three are former members of Unit 8200, and they have worked at companies like SentinelOne, Noname Security, and BlinkOps.
Even though Anchor is still a young company, it already has paying customers, including well-known startups like Groq and Unify, which are using its technology in their daily operations.
The startup currently has nine employees in Tel Aviv and plans to grow its R&D team in Israel while also expanding its sales operations in the U.S.
