Raised $13M seed (announced 2026-04-07/08) led by LocalGlobe and Cambridge Innovation Capital, with executives from Databricks and Stripe participating.
Company launched from stealth alongside the funding; named enterprise customers were not identified in coverage reviewed.

Multi-agent architecture purpose-built for securing AI agents and AI-generated code across their lifecycle differentiates it from general-purpose AppSec tooling.
No independent validation of detection/remediation efficacy was located; claims are vendor-sourced at launch.
With 74% of businesses reportedly planning agentic AI deployment, securing AI agents and their generated code is an increasingly urgent CISO priority.
Why CISOs Should Care
Trent AI secures AI agents across their full lifecycle using layered agent groups that find exploits in code/infrastructure, rank vulnerabilities by severity, suggest remediation, and monitor security drift over time -- addressing the specific risks of agentic AI deployments.
What Makes It Different
Built by former AWS engineering leads specifically for agentic AI risk (rather than general AppSec), using a multi-agent architecture where each agent group handles a distinct stage of the security lifecycle for AI agents and their generated code.
The Matrix Verdict
45/100 — EMERGING / UNRANKED
