Prevalent AI has secured a $22 million growth investment from Los Angeles-based Integrity Growth Partners, marking the first primary capital the company has raised since its founding in 2017. Annual recurring revenue has more than doubled in the past twelve months.
The company was built by a team with UK intelligence-community roots. Co-founders include Paul Stokes, whose previous ventures include Cognevo (acquired by Telstra) and Wynyard Group, which he led to IPO in 2013, and Arun Raj, who worked alongside Stokes at Cognevo. Former GCHQ Director Sir Iain Lobban and Andrew France, co-founder and CEO of Darktrace and former Deputy Director for Cyber Defence Operations at GCHQ, are also on the founding team.
Prevalent AI's platform is an AI-powered data fabric that aggregates and continuously updates fragmented enterprise data into a sovereign knowledge graph. The system was first deployed in cybersecurity, where disconnected data creates immediate operational risk, and has since been adopted by major global banks, telecommunications providers, and critical national infrastructure operators. The company points to the context gap as the underlying problem: AI agents can only be as reliable as the data they operate on, and for most large enterprises that data is neither clean, connected, nor current.
Gartner forecasts that more than 40 percent of agentic AI projects will be cancelled by the end of 2027, attributing the failures to escalating costs, unclear business value, and inadequate risk controls. Prevalent AI's positioning is that all three trace to the same root: poor enterprise context.
The $22 million from Integrity Growth Partners will fund expansion of the company's commercial organisation across sales, marketing, customer success, and partnerships, accelerate its push into the United States, and extend the platform beyond cybersecurity into broader enterprise risk use cases. The company also recently appointed Stuart Barnard as Chief Financial Officer and Mike East as SVP of Global Sales.
In one documented deployment, a global insurance company reduced the time to generate executive security reports by 95 percent. An international banking group improved incident detection capability by more than 80 percent.
