Google’s AI fund backs $6M Seed in Anchor Browser, an Israeli AI automation platform from unit 8200 veterans
Gradient Ventures and Blumberg Capital back the Tel Aviv startup, which builds infrastructure allowing AI agents to perform real-world web tasks without relying on APIs.
In another sign of the rapid shift from AI experimentation to real-world deployment, Israeli startup Anchor Browser has emerged from stealth with a $6 million Seed round led by Blumberg Capital and Gradient Ventures, Google’s AI-focused investment arm.

The round also included participation from Colin Evans, Head of VC and Startup Partnerships at OpenAI.
Founded in 2024, Anchor is developing an infrastructure platform that allows AI agents to autonomously perform online operations, from data entry and order tracking to completing government forms, across public and private web systems. Its technology enables AI to interact directly with websites without relying on traditional APIs or scripts, which often limit automation’s reliability and scalability.
Anchor’s software learns a digital task once, converts it into a structured workflow, and can execute it across millions of browser instances with minimal human intervention. The company says this approach creates a more stable and secure automation layer for enterprises deploying AI at scale.
“Agentic AI is only as useful as its ability to act in the real world, and in today’s enterprise, that means acting on the web,” said Idan Raman, Anchor’s co-founder and CEO. “Most of the web is still inaccessible to AI because it wasn’t designed for machines. Our mission is to bridge that gap, reliably, securely, and at scale.”

Raman founded Anchor alongside Dor Dankner (CTO) and Guy Ben-Simhon (VP R&D) - all veterans of Unit 8200 with experience at SentinelOne, Noname Security, and BlinkOps.
Despite its young age, the company says it already serves several paying customers, including high-profile startups such as Groq and Unify, which have integrated Anchor’s technology into their operations. The startup employs nine people in Tel Aviv and plans to expand its R&D center in Israel while scaling its U.S. sales operations.
Anchor’s launch follows OpenAI’s announcement of ChatGPT Atlas, a new browser product designed to integrate generative AI into online interactions. The proximity of the two announcements highlights growing competition, and opportunity, in building infrastructure that connects AI systems to the web itself.
