Description
About us
We are building the Governed Truth Infrastructure that makes agentic AI safe for highly regulated industries like banking and insurance. Powered by our proprietary "Seal, Enforce, Prove" architecture and backed by a growing patent portfolio, our platform is already live in production with enterprise partners driving real ARR.
We designed this infrastructure specifically for the builders on the front lines: developers, AI strategists, and Forward-Deployed Engineers (FDEs). With FDEs now the fastest-growing role in tech - up over 700% year-over-year - these teams need a secure, reliable foundation to govern AI agents performing high-stakes work. That’s exactly what we provide: a platform they can trust.
We're well-funded ($73M raised), the team is strong, and there's real momentum in the market. This isn't a bet on "maybe it'll happen" - it's already happening.

- Experience in financial services, insurance, or another regulated industry.
- Familiarity with policy, compliance, risk, or other rules-driven workflows.
