June Raises $20 Million to Help Companies Deploy AI Agents Without Consultants

June, an enterprise AI deployment startup founded by four former Salesforce executives, has emerged from stealth with $20 million in pre-seed funding led by Marc Benioff's Time Ventures. The round also includes investments from Michael Dell, Box CEO Aaron Levie, and CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz as the company launches a platform designed to automate enterprise AI deployment by identifying system bottlenecks and generating AI agent workflows.

The company is focused on a challenge many organizations face after selecting an AI model: connecting it to existing enterprise software and data. June says its platform scans systems such as Salesforce, maps business processes, identifies operational issues, and produces a step-by-step deployment plan for AI-powered workflows instead of relying on teams of forward-deployed engineers.

Co-founder and CEO Efrat Rapoport argues that enterprise AI adoption has created an unexpected dependency on consulting and implementation services. "AI, paradoxically, increases the demand for professional services," Rapoport said.

June's software is designed to analyze enterprise environments, detect issues such as duplicate records or missing data connections, and recommend the changes needed before AI agents are deployed. According to Rapoport, the platform generates instructions such as, "Remove these duplicates. Connect to this data source."

The startup was founded by Rapoport, Ohad Hen, Barak Goldstein, and Idan Tsitiat. The same team previously created Bonobo AI, a voice-to-text startup launched in 2017 that Salesforce acquired in 2019. After spending several years working on AI initiatives inside Salesforce, the founders left to build June around enterprise AI deployment.

Rapoport also said investor interest was strong enough that the company completed its pre-seed financing without preparing a formal pitch deck.

One of June's early customers is CMG, a U.S. mortgage lender. Chief Strategy Officer Paul Akinmade said the company had committed to deploying 100 AI agents but struggled to integrate them with Salesforce despite working with architects, consultants, and forward-deployed engineers.

Akinmade said he made his position clear during discussions with June. "If your product requires FDEs, I don't want your product."

June positions its software as an alternative to implementation-heavy AI rollouts by generating deployment roadmaps automatically rather than through consulting engagements. The platform maps enterprise systems, identifies bottlenecks, and builds agent-powered workflows after customer approval while notifying teams through existing internal communication channels.

The company has not disclosed pricing or the number of production customers beyond CMG. Its approach also enters a competitive market where enterprise software providers, including Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Workday, continue expanding their own AI and agent capabilities.

Even so, the investor group behind the company reflects confidence that deploying AI inside complex enterprise environments remains a significant challenge. By backing June at the pre-seed stage, Time Ventures, Dell, Levie, and Kurtz are supporting the company's view that simplifying AI implementation could become an important layer of the enterprise AI software stack.
