## Summary

Mintive, an AI agent security platform, closed a $7 million funding round led by Cowboy Ventures, raising its total to $11 million. The company now processes 2.5 million agent calls daily across over 50 enterprise clients, including Ro, Modern Treasury, and Coursera, after handling 200 million calls in seven months. The funds support its platform, which assigns distinct identities and granular permissions to AI agents, isolating them from user credentials and enabling traceable audit logs across tools and models.

Mintive’s solution combines an MCP Gateway for tool access and an LLM Gateway for model calls, letting administrators restrict agent actions and disable tools individually. Features like Mint Guard screen for prompt injection and data leaks, while SOC 2 Type II compliance underscores security. Customers like Modern Treasury report time savings of up to four hours per complex case, and the University of Michigan uses it as an MCP gateway. The company’s co-founders include former Google Brain and Coursera engineers, positioning it in a niche for operationalizing enterprise AI governance.
