Real budget and a genuine EU AI Act forcing function, but a runtime security proxy sold to Series B-D platform engineers is a high-trust, SOC2/SSO, on-call enterprise sale that one founder can't credibly deliver, and Lakera/Invariant/Lasso plus in-house IAM teams are racing the same window. Intercepting and securing tool calls between agents and enterprise endpoints is a massive integration treadmill that a solo founder cannot reliably maintain or sell to compliance-heavy Series B startups.

Real budget and a genuine EU AI Act forcing function, but a runtime security proxy sold to Series B-D platform engineers is a high-trust, SOC2/SSO, on-call enterprise sale that one founder can't credibly deliver, and Lakera/Invariant/Lasso plus in-house IAM teams are racing the same window. Intercepting and securing tool calls between agents and enterprise endpoints is a massive integration treadmill that a solo founder cannot reliably maintain or sell to compliance-heavy Series B startups.
Three platform-eng teams sign a paid pilot to route production agent tool-calls through your proxy, proving they'll trust an unknown solo vendor in the critical path. A platform engineer at a Series B startup signs a paid pilot to route their production agents through your proxy this week.
Companies deploying AI agents to production systems have no standardized way to define what those agents can and cannot do. A planning agent gets read access to Jira and suddenly it's also writing to the database because permissions were granted as a broad MCP scope. The AGENTS.md proposal exploded to 4,600+ GitHub reactions because teams are desperate for structure, but it's just a spec file — nothing enforces it at runtime. Enterprise IAM tools like Okta model human users, not autonomous agents that chain tool calls unpredictably. NVIDIA is building sandboxed agent runtimes (NemoClaw, 18K+…
