- Kyvvu
Led · Seed · Aug 2026
Kyvvu develops an Agent Security Kernel (ASK), a deterministic, framework-agnostic runtime control point that validates every action taken by an AI agent against fixed, version-controlled compliance policies. The ASK is designed to stop autonomous agents from performing unauthorized actions that could lead to data breaches or regulatory incidents. Kyvvu was founded by Jeroen Ghijsen and Maurits from research at the Jheronimus Academy of Data Science and is based in Den Bosch. The company raised €1 million in a pre-seed round backed by Volta Ventures and the Brabant Development Agency (BOM). Kyvvu will use the funding to expand its engineering team, grow its partner network, and support deployments across Europe. The articles do not report revenue or other operating metrics.
