AIUC Secures $40M Series A to Address Rogue AI Agents in Enterprises
Rune Kvist and Rajiv Dattani, co-founders of Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company (AIUC), have raised a $40 million Series A led by Ribbit Capital. The startup aims to address the growing challenge of ensuring safety and reliability as AI systems become more advanced. Their solution involves applying cybersecurity principles like SOC 2 to create an audit framework for AI agents, called AIUC-1. AIUC collaborates with a consortium of over 250 security leaders who help define testing criteria based on enterprise needs. The company runs thousands of tests per agent and produces detailed reports highlighting safe behaviors versus potential risks such as jailbreaks or data leaks. This approach is designed to give enterprises confidence in the AI systems they adopt. The startup has already attracted notable customers like Cursor, Lovable, Harvey, and ElevenLabs. Its funding includes a prior $15 million seed round from investors including Anthropic co-founder Ben Mann and Nat Friedman’s NFDG fund.
