Marc Benioff-backed startup June aims to simplify AI deployment for enterprises
June, an artificial intelligence (AI) startup co-founded by former Salesforce executive Efrat Rapoport and three others, has emerged from stealth with $20 million in pre-seed funding led by Marc Benioff’s Time Ventures. The company is addressing the challenge of deploying AI within large enterprises, where fragmented data systems and technical debt often hinder implementation. June's platform automates the process of integrating AI agents into existing enterprise workflows by scanning legacy systems for inefficiencies and providing step-by-step guidance to optimize processes. This approach aims to reduce reliance on forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) or consultants, who are typically hired to help with complex integrations. The startup’s solution is already being used at CMG, a major U.S. mortgage lender, where it helped overcome integration challenges with Salesforce and enabled the deployment of AI agents more efficiently than traditional methods.
