As businesses deploy more AI agents, managing their access to company data, systems and applications becomes increasingly important. Without proper controls, agents can expose sensitive information, make unauthorised changes or generate unexpected costs.
Kindo addresses these challenges by connecting existing AI agents, data sources and models through a central control system. Its gateways monitor and audit agent interactions with connected tools and data, while identity controls apply existing company permissions to both employees and AI agents.
The platform can run on-premises, in a customer's cloud, in Kindo's cloud or in air-gapped environments.

Why the Funding Matters
As AI agents become more common in businesses, organisation's need better ways to manage their security permissions, and operating costs.
Kindos platform provides a central view of how agents operate and what they access. It's AI Control Center also records token usage and agent outcomes, allowing finance teams to track spending by employee, department, project and individual agent.
The new funding will support further development of these capabilities, and help Kindo expand its commercial operations.
Who founded Kindo?
Kindo was founded in 2022 by Ron Williams. The company is headquartered in Venice, California.
"Agent builders from the AI labs, hyperscalers, and thousands of startups make it easy to deploy powerful agents across the business," said Ron Williams, founder and CEO of Kindo. "What's missing is the tooling that lets an organization centrally control how those agents are built, what data they can reach, where that data can go, and what they cost, while also allowing support teams to reach in and fix an agent at any hour.
Market and Business Growth
Kindo is used in production by large and mid-market enterprises across financial services, professional services, healthcare, aviation and transportation.
One customer, global aviation data provider Aireon, reported in May 2026 that using Kindo for threat hunting and security operations helped it work faster and make better use of its existing security monitoring infrastructure. The company also reported annual savings of more than $2 million.
Kindo offers additional Deep Hat tools to help reduce AI operating costs. These include Sift for filtering certain agent tasks, Tune for adapting smaller AI models, Shrink for running repeatable workflows as code, and Attack for security testing.
What Happens Next?
Kindo plans to expand its go to market organisation and accelerate development of its Enterprise AI Control Center and Deep Hat products.
The company will continue building tools that help enterprises monitor AI agents, manage access to business systems, improve security and control the costs of running AI operations.
