Salesforce Founder Leads $20M Investment in AI Startup June AI for Enterprise Software Integration
June AI, a startup developing AI-driven enterprise software integration solutions, has raised $20 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Time Ventures, founded by Marc Benioff, CEO and founder of Salesforce. Other notable investors include Michael Dell, founder of Dell, George Kurtz, founder of CrowdStrike, Yasmin Luketz, and additional funds. The company currently employs about 20 people, mostly in Israel, and plans to expand globally within the next year.
Founded at the end of 2025 by Efrat Rapoport (CEO), Idan Tsityat (CTO), Barak Goldstein (President), and Ohad Chen (Chief Architect), June AI’s founders previously created Bonobo.AI, which Salesforce acquired in 2019 for approximately $50 million. After the acquisition, the founders worked together at Salesforce for around five years, with Rapoport leading the R&D center in Israel. Their experience revealed a recurring challenge: organizations invest heavily in advanced technologies but struggle to integrate them into existing systems and sustain business value over time.
June AI’s platform uses AI agents to help organizations scan their systems, identify opportunities for process optimization, and securely implement changes. Rapoport explained that the company addresses the lengthy and manual process of coordinating multiple technology platforms within large enterprises. June AI not only recommends integration steps but also executes and continuously adapts the implementation to evolving business needs.
The startup highlights that the main barrier today is not AI technology itself but the ability to embed it effectively into legacy systems. As AI adoption grows, the demand for professional integration services increases, a trend also seen in major tech companies like Microsoft, Anthropic, and OpenAI, which have established teams to assist clients with AI deployment. Rapoport emphasized that AI has paradoxically increased the need for integration services, as organizations invest billions in new models but face outdated processes and fragmented data.
June AI aims to solve this problem by providing a comprehensive solution that ensures AI tools are not only implemented but also maintained and adapted over time to deliver sustained business impact.
