AI agents are becoming the new workforce, but today's identity systems and data security controls weren't designed for autonomous software operating at enterprise scale. We are the control layer between AI agents and your data: attested identity for every agent , governed capability enforced at runtime (approved tools, models, and data purposes), and provable accountability for every action, which agent, which version, which task, which purpose. Beyond identity, Securelytix protects sensitive data through a Privacy Vault that enables tokenization, detokenization, data masking, and purpose-based access controls. AI agents receive only the minimum data required for a specific task, reducing unnecessary exposure of PII, financial, and regulated information. Built on open standards. Deploy without code changes. Ready for DPDP,GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.

BCDRPulse (bcdrpulse.com) is an early stage B2B SaaS platform focused on website resilience, infrastructure monitoring, performance testing, security assessment and disaster recovery. We help businesses find weaknesses in their web and infrastructure before those weaknesses turn into outages, breaches or lost revenue.

Absentia Technologies builds enactive AI, intelligence grounded in perception and action in the physical world, beginning with vision. Our first product, MYSTIC, restores degraded video in real time through fog, smoke, low light and glare, and it runs on the cameras a site already owns. MYSTIC models the physics of how fog, smoke and low light degrade an image and reverses that degradation, so it recovers detail the camera captured and never invents any. It also recognizes the objects in a scene and how they behave, which lets operators track and search footage by typing what they are looking for in plain language. We serve defense and ISR teams, along with commercial surveillance operators, who need to see clearly in the conditions where cameras fail most. For first-responders, military and teams whose footage can end up with police, investigators, or insurers.

Sparcle builds AI that enterprises can run inside their own walls. Bolt is a desktop workspace for Windows, Mac and Linux. One hotkey opens search, files, notes, a browser and 80+ utilities that run on your machine with no model call. When Bolt's AI runs, it masks secrets and personal data before anything leaves the device. Bolt is free for individuals and needs no account. Aeira is self-hosted enterprise search that checks each person's permissions before a document can be retrieved, so AI answers only use what that person may see. Enterprise deployments run on your infrastructure, with your own models and keys. Every consequential action is recorded in a signed audit trail that an auditor can verify offline. We are a small founding team in Sunnyvale, California, working on privacy, security and trust for AI at work. Founded in 2025. Download Bolt: sparcle.app/download

GetTeddy is a compliance platform for technology companies that sell to regulated customers. At its core are AI agents that guide companies through frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, TISAX®, NIS2, DORA, the EU AI Act and ISO 42001. The agents collect evidence from existing systems through read-only access, run gap audits against hundreds of controls and check supplier contracts against GDPR, DORA and NIS2 requirements. Approvals always stay with a person, and every agent action is logged. Each customer also has a dedicated compliance engineer, and certification audits are carried out by an independent, accredited certification body. GetTeddy (Teddy Technologies GmbH) is a young Berlin startup that emerged from the Antler ecosystem, backed by Antler, and works on site in Berlin.
