Founded in 2024, Mainframe is supported by top-tier investors and built by a distributed team of industry-leading talent from across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Mainframe’s vision is to create seamless, intelligent software that reshapes how people work and interact with computers in the 21st century.

About FundedIQ's Mainframe Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Mainframe is left off this page rather than filled in.
