Unframe: Enterprise AI Startup Raises $50M and Hits $100M TCV in 12 months

The enterprise AI startup Unframe, headquartered in Silicon Valley, has closed a Series B funding round of $50 million. With German co-founder Larissa Schneider as COO, the company — founded in 2024 — has reached a contract volume (total contract value, TCV) of $100 million within twelve months, making it one of the fastest-growing companies in its category worldwide. Highland Europe is leading the round, with existing investors such as Bessemer Venture Partners, Craft Ventures, and TLV Partners participating again. Total funding now stands at $100 million.

Unframe positions itself as a platform for AI solutions in enterprises. It helps companies turn their requirements into deployable AI applications within days. Each solution is developed individually and designed to integrate into the customer’s existing IT systems.

Flexible AI Architecture

The startup was founded in 2024 by Shay Levi, Larissa Schneider, and Adi Azarya and has offices in California, Tel Aviv, and Berlin. With the fresh capital, the company plans to execute more projects simultaneously, further develop its platform, and bring experienced executives onto the team.

Through the open platform “The Framery,” Unframe integrates seamlessly into existing AI programs: it can be operated in the customer’s cloud, directly in their own data center (on-premises), or as a fully managed SaaS solution. It is also not tied to a specific AI model and can leverage various LLMs.

From AI Ambition to Operational Execution

“Every company we speak with has a backlog of high-impact AI use cases, yet only a fraction of them are actually in productive use,” says Shay Levi, CEO and co-founder of Unframe. “We built Unframe to close the gap between AI ambition and operational execution.”

Scaling happens incrementally: after the initial implementation, customers roll out additional use cases across teams and business units. The result is reflected in a Net Revenue Retention (NRR) of 400 percent — meaning existing customers generate, on average, four times as much revenue as before.

“Surpassing the $100 million TCV (Total Contract Value) mark within a year shows that enterprises are ready to invest in AI at scale when the solution actually fits their operational reality,” says Larissa Schneider, COO and co-founder of Unframe. “Every customer behind this milestone faced a concrete business-critical bottleneck, needed a tailored solution, and was able to deploy it productively within days. That is exactly the model we are now scaling further.”

“Hard to Believe at First”

The funding round underscores the growing demand for production-ready AI solutions. Jacob Bernstein, Principal at Highland Europe, sees exactly this as the bottleneck: “Almost every executive we speak with can name several AI use cases that would have enormous potential for their company. But the real challenge begins after the idea.” From customers, one hears time and again: “At first, I could hardly believe it. Then I saw it. And now we’re already rolling out the next ten use cases.”
