The UK’s 2025/2026 Cyber Security Breaches Survey shows 43% of businesses and 28% of charities reported a cyber incident in the past year. The headline is not just persistence; it is operational exposure. Phishing remains the dominant route in, education is absorbing heavier pressure, and supplier-r
SAP npm packages poisoned with credential-stealing malware in "Mini Shai-Hulud" attack. Malicious preinstall hooks harvest GitHub tokens, cloud keys and CI/CD secrets. Attackers weaponise AI agent configs for persistence, turning Claude and VS Code settings into execution paths.
Medtronic says a third party accessed data in corporate IT systems, while ShinyHunters claims more than nine million records were stolen. The incident did not disrupt products or patient care, but it exposes the widening risk around corporate IT, identity data and medical technology supply chains.
Amsterdam-based Wonderful has raised $150M in a Series B round led by Insight Partners, valuing the enterprise AI agent platform at $2B. The funding will scale its hyper-local deployment model, which embeds teams with clients to accelerate AI adoption in complex industries across 30+ countries.
Amsterdam-based Wonderful has secured $150 million in a Series B funding round to scale its enterprise AI agent platform, reaching a $2 billion valuation just eight months after emerging from stealth.
Founded in 2025 by Bar Winkler and Roey Lalazar, Wonderful provides a model-agnostic platform for deploying AI agents in complex enterprise environments. The company differentiates itself with a hyper-local operating model, embedding its engineering teams directly within client organisations to manage integration and deployment across more than 30 countries.
The Update: Amsterdam-headquartered Wonderful has raised $150 million in a Series B round led by global software investor Insight Partners, with participation from existing investors Index Ventures, IVP, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Vine Ventures. The new capital, which brings total funding to $286 million, will be used to accelerate global expansion and triple headcount from 350 to approximately 900 by the end of the year.

Our investors @insightpartners , @IndexVentures , @IVP, @BessemerVP, and @VineVenturesLP are all tripling down on their conviction in Wonderful’s platform and hyper-local operating model, as we continue… pic.twitter.com/k0REIc5ONm
The company focuses on deploying production-grade AI agents for large enterprises in the telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors, particularly in non-English-speaking markets. Its platform is designed to be model-agnostic, selecting the best-performing models for each specific use case.
“In 2026, enterprises will be deciding who to partner with to operationalise AI across their organisations, and those decisions will hinge on who can deliver deep integrations,” said Bar Winkler, CEO and Co-founder of Wonderful.
The investment underscores significant investor confidence in platforms that bridge the gap between AI potential and real-world production.
At Wonderful, our goal is to push the frontier of enterprise AI. We’re deploying agents across every business function, while pioneering the next generation of application layers that will transform how organisations operate.” — Roey Lalazar, CTO and Co-founder of Wonderful
Why it Matters: Wonderful’s funding highlights a critical market shift from developing foundational models to enabling their practical deployment within large, complex organisations.
Its hands-on, localised strategy directly confronts the persistent challenge of moving AI from a successful pilot to a reliable, scaled production system — a hurdle where over 70% of projects reportedly fail. By embedding teams with clients, Wonderful is betting that deep integration and tailored, market-specific solutions are the key to unlocking enterprise value, rather than technology alone.
This approach challenges the purely software-as-a-service model, suggesting that for complex AI, a high-touch, service-heavy component is essential for adoption and success.
