Aembit announced a $25 million Series A on September 12, 2024, led by Acrew Capital, to advance its enterprise workload identity and access management platform. The company said the round brought its total capital raised to nearly $45 million. This is a report of the 2024 announcement, not a claim of new financing in 2026.

What Aembit’s Series A included

Acrew Capital led the $25 million round. Existing investors Ballistic Ventures, Ten Eleven Ventures, Okta Ventures, and CrowdStrike Falcon Fund also participated. Aembit said it would use the financing to advance scalable workload access management for enterprises. Aembit’s September 12, 2024 announcement put its total capital raised at nearly $45 million after the round.

What non-human IAM means

Non-human identities are identities used by software rather than people. In Aembit’s terminology, they include applications, scripts, and bots that automate business operations, along with the credentials those workloads use to communicate with sensitive databases, applications, and infrastructure.

Aembit describes its Workload IAM Platform as a way to manage access between workloads and the resources they need across cloud, SaaS, and data-center environments. Its stated goal is to apply access-management principles to software identities much as organizations apply them to human users.

How Aembit says its platform works

Aembit says its policy engine grants secretless, just-in-time access according to a workload’s identity and posture. The company also says the platform uses short-lived access tokens so applications do not need to store sensitive credentials in code or vaults. These are descriptions of the product’s intended approach; the funding announcement does not independently verify security outcomes or product efficacy.

In practical terms, the model is intended to replace a persistent credential embedded in an application or shared through another channel with access granted to an identified workload when needed. Whether that approach fits a particular organization depends on its environment, policies, integrations, and deployment requirements, which the financing release does not detail.

What Aembit’s survey reported—and what it does not establish

The announcement cited a newly published survey of security professionals. Aembit reported that over 30% of organizations still stored credentials in code, 23% used email and chat to share credentials, and over 60% of respondents wanted a comprehensive solution across their organization.

Those are company-reported survey findings, not independently established industry-wide rates. The announcement excerpt does not give the sample size, field dates, exact question wording, or respondent geography, so readers cannot determine how representative the figures are from the release alone.

Why the funding matters

The financing gives Aembit capital to pursue its stated enterprise workload-access goals. The announcement frames the problem as extending identity-based access controls to applications and other software workloads—entities that need to reach resources but cannot use human login flows in the same way.

As co-founder and CEO David Goldschlag put it: “Kevin and I founded Aembit with a vision to help enterprises secure access between non-human workloads, applications, and software resources with the same principles used today to secure human access.” The release establishes the company’s funding and positioning; it does not establish market leadership or superiority over alternatives.
