Torq Hits $1.2B Unicorn Status with $140M Series D to Fuel AI Security Agents

Torq has closed a $140 million Series D funding round at a $1.2 billion valuation, cementing its position as a leader in the emerging Agentic AI security sector. Led by Merlin Ventures with support from existing investors like Bessemer Venture Partners and Insight Partners, the investment brings Torq’s total funding to $332 million. The company plans to use this capital to scale its AI SOC Platform and aggressively penetrate the U.S. Federal market.

At the heart of the company's growth is a move from traditional automation to fully autonomous AI agents. Unlike legacy systems that rely on static scripts, Torq uses "Agentic AI" to handle complex security tasks without human intervention. These digital analysts perform high-level investigations, triage alerts, and remediate threats across massive enterprise environments. This capability allows security teams to manage a hundred times more alerts without increasing their staff headcount.

Much of this technological edge stems from the 2025 acquisition of RevRod, which integrated multi-agent Retrieval-Augmented Generation into the platform. This tech stack allows the system to analyze data and determine root causes with a degree of sophistication previously reserved for human experts. By automating 100% of low-fidelity alert triage, the platform ensures that human analysts only focus on verified, high-impact threats.

Torq intends to leverage the new funding to transition from its commercial-first roots into the high-stakes U.S. Public Sector. By partnering with Merlin Ventures, the company gains deep access to government relationships and the expertise needed to navigate complex FedRAMP compliance requirements. This expansion targets a critical need in federal agencies currently struggling with talent shortages and massive alert volumes. The company reported a 300% revenue increase in 2025, fueled by massive adoption among Fortune 100 brands such as PepsiCo, Uber, and Siemens. Customers like Valvoline report that the AI SOC Platform has transformed their teams from reactive responders into proactive strategists. The ability for users to build custom agents through natural language prompts has turned the tool into a primary operations hub for Torq customers globally.
