Key Takeaways:

  • Oplane raised €4.5M in seed funding led by Seed Capital.
  • The platform automates security architecture and threat modeling for AI-driven development.
  • Funding will support European expansion and integrations with AI coding tools.

Oplane has raised €4.5 million in seed funding, led by Seed Capital with participation from angel investors like Emil Eifrem, Robert Lagerström, Joakim Nydrén and existing investor Icebreaker.vc.

Based in Malmö, Oplane is the first automated security architect purpose-built for the AI-native lifecycle. Founded by Emil Kvarnhammar, Oscar Andersson and Anders Söderling, a founding team with deep cybersecurity experience, the company offers a solution to the security issues that arise when engineering teams build rapidly with AI.

Solving Security Challenges in AI-Powered Development

We work with some of the fastest moving companies in AI today. Almost everyone is adopting AI coding tools, whether we talk to Enterprise, Big Tech or AI hypergrowth companies. They're not just shipping faster, they're accumulating architectural risk at the same speed. AI coding tools are optimised to solve the immediate problem in front of them - not for security. Anthropic, OpenAI and established cybersecurity players are active in our domain - still, our customers choose Oplane. I’ve spent years trying to solve this problem consistently at scale with human capacity, it is impossible. It needs to be addressed with agentic solutions, tightly embedded with an organization’s development workflow. Secure Development Lifecycle is no longer a dream, and Oplane is becoming a category leader.” - Emil Kvarnhammar, Co-founder and CEO, Oplane

When code is written, refactored, and deployed at machine speed, human-led security reviews, manual threat modeling, and architectural sign-offs are physically impossible to execute. Unlike legacy tools that react to vulnerabilities after deployment, Oplane embeds security-by-design directly into the agentic workflow. Meaning the platform provides real-time asset graphs and automated remediations. It secures the intent before it becomes risk, ensuring AI-generated architectures are resilient by default.

The rise of vibe coding has moved from side projects into the core of enterprise engineering workflows, and the pace at which architectural risk accumulates has matched the pace at which teams build.

Oplane is already deployed in production at Miro and Tandem Health, where adoption has scaled from a handful of repositories to several hundred, with thousands of threat models run in a matter of months. A handful of additional pilots are active with further customer announcements expected in the coming weeks.

Backed by Seed Capital

Copenhagen-based Seed Capital is leading the seed round.

The Oplane team is on a mission to make secure software the default in the age of AI. Their rare combination of deep security expertise and software development experience gives them an edge few others have, a ground-level understanding of the problem and a solution that works seamlessly for both security and engineering teams. For any team building at AI speed, this isn't a nice-to-have, it's essential. We're humbled by what the Oplane team have built and convinced this is a massive market opportunity with a product customers genuinely need today.” - Geeta Schmidt, General Partner, Seed Capital

Expansion Plans

The capital will be used to scale go-to-market operations across Europe, and expand Oplane’s integrations with AI coding tools including Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot. The team also plans to grow the team with senior hires in software engineering, cybersecurity, QA and GTM.
