Making a strategic acquisition as a seed-stage company was not a decision I took lightly, but so far all I'm wondering is why we didn't do this sooner.
We first met the Keypo folks about 6 months ago during the YC batch, and were blown away by not only their alignment on highly complementary problems in the agent security space, but more importantly the strong common principles and values that underpin both of our companies.
Behind the scenes, we've been working with Dave full-time for about a month while the acquisition was being finalized, and immediately noticed a boost in energy and productivity across our entire team.
Dave's background and experience in security, authentication, AI agents, and trusted hardware is unparalleled. He's been an absolute pleasure to work with so far, and I'm so excited to share updates about what we're building together in the coming weeks and months.
6 months ago, we met a team that was remarkably well aligned with our agentic security vision.
Today, we're joining forces.
We've officially acquired Keypo, Inc., and its founder Dave Blumenfeld is joining us as Founding Engineer, bringing his work on secure enclaves directly into our platform.
