Andesite, founded in 2023 and headquartered in McLean, Virginia, is a cybersecurity and startup developing AI platforms to detect emerging threats and enhance analyst efficiency across both government and private sector environments.

Andesite focuses on applying large-scale machine learning models to process disparate security datasets, identify anomalous or malicious patterns, and provide actionable insights that accelerate triage and decision-making. In 2024 and 2025, the company raised a combined $38.25 million in seed funding, with rounds led by General Catalyst and Red Cell Partners, positioning the company as one of the best-funded early-stage entrants in AI-driven SOC operations.
