June, a startup founded by former Salesforce executives, aims to simplify AI deployment in large enterprises by automating the integration of AI agents with legacy systems.

June, a new company founded by former Salesforce executives, emerged from stealth on Monday after securing $20 million in pre-seed funding. Led by Marc Benioff’s Time Ventures, the round included participation from Michael Dell, Aaron Levie, and George Kurtz. The startup aims to address the difficulties large businesses face when integrating AI tools into complex, existing corporate data environments.

Addressing Enterprise AI Integration

The founders of June—Efrat Rapoport, Ohad Hen, Barak Goldstein, and Idan Tsitiat—previously founded Bonobo AI, which was acquired by Salesforce in 2019. After working on AI initiatives at Salesforce, the team observed that businesses often struggle to deploy AI because of fragmented data, complex workflows, and technical debt within legacy systems. While many companies currently rely on forward-deployed engineers to manually integrate AI, June seeks to automate this process. The June platform scans a company’s existing systems to identify business processes and bottlenecks. It then generates a roadmap for implementing AI agents, providing step-by-step instructions for tasks like removing duplicate database fields or connecting data sources. Users can then trigger the platform to build the optimized processes automatically.

Customer Implementation Challenges

Paul Akinmade, chief strategy officer at the mortgage lender CMG, noted that his team faced significant roadblocks when trying to integrate AI tools like Claude Code with Salesforce. Despite consulting with architects and forward-deployed engineers, the team struggled to meet internal targets for agent deployment. Akinmade expressed a preference for tools that do not require external consultants, stating he sought an easy-to-use platform that avoids the 'black box' approach of traditional professional services.
