- Funds will support APAC expansion & new product rollout
- Claims to have saved clients hours daily across the healthcare & finance industries
Shieldbase, a Malaysia-based enterprise AI operating system startup, has announced an undisclosed amount of additional funding led by GenAI Fund and First Move, joining Tenity and several prominent angel investors. The capital will be used to supercharge the startup’s growth across the Asia-Pacific region and accelerate the rollout of new products that address one of the most urgent challenges in enterprise AI: fragmentation and governance.
As enterprises adopt hundreds of specialised tools, systems, and agentic AI solutions across departments, a critical problem is emerging — none of these technologies communicate effectively with one another. The result is siloed data, disjointed workflows, and limited return on investment from AI deployments.
“Our mission at Shieldbase is to break through AI silos and empower enterprises to unlock a new era of intelligent operations — where every system, tool, and agent works in harmony to drive speed, clarity, and strategic advantage,” said Diego Rojas, CEO and co-founder of Shieldbase AI.
He added, “With the backing of GenAI Fund, First Move, and our angel investors, we’re transforming fragmented AI stacks into a unified operating system that delivers real impact, from automation and governance to measurable business outcomes.”
Shieldbase is tackling this issue with its AI operating system, an intelligent unification layer dubbed the ‘cursor for the workplace’. The platform connects and orchestrates data, software, and agents into a single, cohesive environment, empowering organisations to regain control, reduce operational overhead, and unlock new revenue opportunities. At the same time, it upholds enterprise-grade security and governance standards, transforming companies into AI-first organisations.
The company states that it is redefining how enterprises deploy and scale AI by converting fragmented, isolated implementations into an integrated automation ecosystem. While many organisations struggle to extract value from disconnected vertical tools, Shieldbase offers a platform that turns disparate AI tools into orchestrated workflows.
Built with a modular architecture and supporting white-label and on-premise deployments, Shieldbase can be implemented in hours rather than months. The company claims to deliver rapid time-to-value while meeting strict enterprise requirements for security, scalability, and compliance.
“Enterprise AI isn’t broken because there are too few tools — it’s broken because the tools don’t talk to each other,” said Audra Pakalnyte, general partner at First Move.
“Shieldbase is building the infrastructure layer that turns fragmented AI pilots into unified and high-impact workflows. This is exactly the kind of bold, first-mover thinking we support,” she added.
Denning Tan, partner at GenAI Fund, commented: “What sets Shieldbase apart is their understanding that AI fragmentation is the single biggest barrier to success in enterprise AI. While others build more tools, Shieldbase has built the operating system that makes all tools work together. This is the infrastructure the market needs to shift from experimentation to transformation.”
According to Shieldbase, it is already delivering meaningful results across sectors. The company claims that early adopters are seeing gains in productivity, faster decision-making, and reduced operational costs by replacing fragmented systems with a unified, intelligent platform.
In healthcare, data ingestion and processing workflows that once took days are now completed in minutes. A financial firm reportedly reclaimed hours of daily productivity through AI search across decades of siloed data. In heavy industries, the AI OS is enabling the shift from reactive to predictive operations, optimising costs while unlocking new revenue streams.
Shieldbase says this is just the beginning of what’s possible when enterprises move from AI sprawl to AI orchestration — and it is making that transition a reality.
With this momentum, Shieldbase notes it is scaling its presence across Asia-Pacific and expanding its operating system to deliver deeper contextual understanding and end-to-end automation. The company added that upcoming product releases will introduce enhanced MCP connectors, advanced data synthesis processing, and ready-to-deploy workflow automation blueprints — all designed to simplify AI adoption and drive business impact.
