Iru, based in San Francisco, California, provides an AI-powered platform for unified IT and security management for Apple devices like Mac, iPad, iOS, and tvOS. It integrates device management, endpoint security, vulnerability management, identity and access, and compliance automation via zero-touch processes, utilizing its Iru Context Model and Iru AI. Iru has raised a total of $288.69 million in funding, including a $100 million round raised a year prior, to support its enterprise SaaS platform. Its subscription-based software serves enterprise IT departments, counting Belkin, Crunchbase, and Notion among its customers. Formerly Kandji, the organization rebranded to Iru in October 2025, expanding its mission for the AI era. It was founded in 2018 by Adam Pettit. Its business model centers on subscription-based software platform for enterprise IT management.

Iru is an AI-powered IT and security platform that unifies identity, endpoint management, and compliance tools into a single system, enabling IT and security teams to secure users, apps, and devices while reducing tool fragmentation.[1][2] It serves fast-growing companies, replacing disparate point solutions with an integrated platform that automates workflows, provides passwordless access, endpoint protection across Apple, Windows, and Android, and AI-driven compliance reporting—trusted by over 5,000 teams including Hunters, Varo Bank, and Rackspace Technology.[1][2][3] Iru solves the problem of bloated tool stacks that multiply IT workload, obscure visibility, and hinder security by collapsing them into one AI-orchestrated system powered by the Iru Context Model, giving teams time back for strategic work.[1][2]
Evolved from Kandji, a leading Apple endpoint solution founded in 2018, Iru has raised $288.69M in funding through Series D, with its latest $100M round about a year ago, signaling strong growth momentum in the enterprise security space.[4]
Iru emerged from Kandji, founded in 2018 in San Francisco as a specialized Apple device management platform that abstracted complexity and leveraged automation for Mac, iPad, iOS, and tvOS endpoints.[1][4][5] The company identified a broader pain point: IT and security teams bogged down by fragmented stacks for securing users, apps, and devices, which amplified manual work and blocked holistic visibility.[1][2] Pivoting for the AI era, Iru was built by expanding Kandji's approach—unifying identity (passwordless SSO), endpoint (management, detection, response, vulnerability), and compliance (AI-tailored controls and trust centers)—into one platform.[1][2]
This evolution reflects the founders' focus on force-multiplying automation, starting with Apple excellence and scaling to multi-OS support, backed by top-tier investors who endorse the vision of stack consolidation.[1][4]
Iru rides the AI-driven consolidation wave in enterprise IT security, where exploding tool stacks (often 10+ per team) clash with AI-era demands for speed, context-aware automation, and zero-trust architectures amid rising threats.[1][2] Timing is ideal post-2024 funding surge, as remote/hybrid work, multi-OS fleets, and compliance pressures (e.g., audits, deals) favor unified platforms over point solutions—market forces like cybersecurity talent shortages and AI agent proliferation amplify this.[2][4] Iru influences the ecosystem by rewriting IT operations for 5,000+ companies, enabling focus on business innovation while setting a standard for AI-orchestrated security that competitors like NinjaOne or Scalefusion must match.[2][4]
Iru is poised to dominate as the go-to stack collapser for mid-to-large enterprises, with expansion into deeper AI agents, broader OS/ecosystem integrations (e.g., more ML/IoT via AWS), and global compliance suites fueling 2026 hypergrowth.[1][2][5] Trends like generative AI threats, regulatory tightening, and workforce mobility will propel demand, evolving Iru's influence from Apple niche to full-spectrum security leader—potentially unicorn valuation unlock via IPO or acquisition. This positions Iru to keep delivering on its promise: freeing IT from tickets to transform businesses, just as it started with one stellar endpoint tool.[1][4]
Iru has raised $288.0M across 6 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $100.0M Series D in July 2024.
