Key points
- Asymptote Labs raised $5.5 million in a seed round led by Tower Research Ventures
- Beacon open‑source layer records activity from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and 20+ other agent tools
- Enterprise platform adds detection, policy enforcement, and governance workflows for AI agents
The company’s core offering is Beacon, an MIT‑licensed open‑source telemetry layer that records agent activity across more than 20 harnesses, including Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. Beacon normalizes prompts, tool calls, edits, approvals, and token usage into a common runtime data model built on OpenTelemetry. Asymptote’s enterprise platform adds managed ingestion, detection, policy‑driven guardrails, and governance workflows that can intercept live agent actions before they execute.
Co‑founders Justin D’Souza (CEO) and Shukan Shah (CTO) previously worked at security‑focused firm Doppel. The company reports rapid growth in Beacon’s GitHub stars and its placement among the top trending repositories, though it has not disclosed customer counts or contract values.
