Agents are a new kind of identity
Non-human identities already outnumber employees in most enterprises. Agents add autonomy and delegation on top. Existing IAM and API tools weren't designed for either.
Investors & strategic partners
Every AI agent will need an identity. We're building where it lives.
Zeqtrio is an early-stage, founder-led company building the security control plane for enterprise AI agents. We welcome introductions to angel investors, strategic advisors and partners with deep roots in security and enterprise software.
Investment thesis
Why this, why now, why us.
Adoption is outrunning controls
Analysts expect agents in a large share of enterprise apps by the end of 2026, and name inadequate risk controls as a leading reason agentic projects fail. Security is now the gating factor.
MCP is the new integration surface
The Model Context Protocol is fast becoming the standard way agents reach tools. Governing it is an urgent, concrete first job, and a natural beachhead into broader agent access.
Sit in the path, own the data
An inline gateway and policy engine becomes the system of record for agent activity, compounding into analytics, compliance and risk scoring.
Enterprise SaaS economics
Multi-tenant control plane with usage- and agent-based pricing, plus a self-hosted gateway option for regulated industries.
Built by an API security practitioner
Founder-led by an architect with deep, hands-on enterprise API management, cloud and integration experience: the exact systems agents plug into.
