Mintive raises $7m to manage enterprise AI agent access

Mintive, a startup that manages identities and access for enterprise AI agents, has raised $7 million in a seed round led by Cowboy Ventures. The funding brings its total raised to $11 million and backs its effort to help companies control what their AI agents can access and do.

The platform includes gateways for service access and model routing, agent identity and permissions, cost limits and company-wide monitoring. Mintive says its product launched in February and now serves more than 50 enterprise customers, including Coursera and the University of Michigan. It faces competition from major technology firms and numerous startups; its founders say ease of deployment is a key selling point.
