At JDP Global, we’ve long championed the convergence of cutting-edge technologies that promise to reshape industries and improve lives. Today’s announcement of Protectt.ai’s $8.7 million funding round, led by Bessemer Venture Partners, is precisely the kind of development that excites us.

It represents a bold step forward at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, two pillars critical to the future of precision medicine, advanced manufacturing, and beyond.

Founded by Mimani and Mohanraj Selvaraj, Protectt.ai began with a modest $1 million bootstrapped investment from its founders. That initial vision has now blossomed into a robust platform that leverages AI to monitor cyber threats and deliver remote patches without requiring app updates, a game-changer for industries where downtime or data breaches are simply not an option.

This Series A round, announced on March 18, 2025, underscores a growing recognition among investors that cybersecurity is no longer a peripheral concern but a foundational enabler of innovation in precision-focused sectors.

For us at JDP Global, this milestone resonates deeply with our mission through the 2040 Precision Fund. Precision medicine, one of our core investment areas, relies on vast troves of sensitive patient data, including genomic profiles, treatment histories, and real-time diagnostics.

A single breach could undermine years of progress. Similarly, in advanced manufacturing, where IoT-enabled production lines and smart factories are becoming the norm, the stakes are just as high. Protectt.ai’s approach offers a compelling solution, an AI-driven shield that adapts in real time, ensuring security without disrupting the relentless pace of innovation.

What sets Protectt.ai apart is its focus on seamlessness. Traditional cybersecurity often demands trade-offs, such as frequent updates that interrupt workflows or resource-heavy systems that bog down efficiency. By contrast, Protectt.ai’s technology patches vulnerabilities remotely and proactively, a capability that aligns perfectly with the needs of precision industries.

Imagine a hospital deploying AI diagnostics without pausing for security updates or a manufacturing facility maintaining uptime while staying ahead of threats.

This is the kind of practical, forward-thinking innovation we seek to support.

The broader implications are equally striking. As precision medicine and advanced manufacturing scale, they’ll increasingly rely on interconnected systems, such as cloud-based health platforms or supply chains optimized by AI.

Each connection point is a potential vulnerability, making robust, adaptive cybersecurity a prerequisite for growth. Protectt.ai’s success signals a maturing ecosystem where security isn’t an afterthought but a catalyst, enabling these industries to thrive in a data-driven world.

At JDP Global, we see this as more than just a funding win. It’s a validation of our belief that the most transformative companies are those solving real, systemic challenges. Our 2040 Precision Fund is designed to back ventures like these, ones that not only push technological boundaries but also strengthen the infrastructure around them.

Cybersecurity, powered by AI, is a linchpin in that vision, and we’re eager to see how Protectt.ai’s journey unfolds as it empowers precision industries to innovate with confidence.

We’ll be watching this space closely, and we invite our partners, entrepreneurs, and fellow investors to join us in exploring how these advancements can accelerate progress toward a smarter, more secure future. After all, at JDP Global, our commitment is to fuel the ideas and the systems that will define the next decade and beyond.
