Agentic infrastructure powering AI-native companies

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a platform that connects every employee, software agent, and AI client in a company to their tools and skills in one place. It handles governance, access control, and tracing to ensure secure, auditable AI workflows.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live remote and the company will remain remote after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are already fully remote and want to keep it flexible given our distributed team and the nature of building AI-native infrastructure.
