Certiv builds a platform that intercepts, observes and manages AI agents running on employee workstations to prevent unsafe actions before they reach production systems. Its platform can discover agents, tools, models, endpoints and usage patterns; provide visibility into how agents operate across an organization; enforce deterministic and intent-based policies; and score risk, evaluate policy and stop dangerous actions in real time. The company is working with early customers to secure agents across development, operations and knowledge workflows. Led by CEO Jason Needham and based in Seattle, WA, Certiv recently raised $4.2M in a Pre-Seed round. The funds are intended to support engineering headcount growth and initial enterprise deployments.
