Red teaming for AI agents

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

We build a red teaming platform that runs specialized attack AIs against production AI agents to find data leaks, harmful outputs, and unwanted actions. Our system generates detailed reports with evidence and fixes, plus a Safety Page clients can use during sales or compliance, aimed at companies selling AI software into regulated industries.

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

We live in San Francisco and plan to keep Superagent headquartered here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we both live and have access to early customers and AI talent. Staying here keeps us close to the ecosystem and enterprise users who need AI safety.
