Kindo raised $30 million to expand software that lets companies cap AI agents’ spending and restrict their access to business systems, it announced November 12. Crosspoint Capital and Forgepoint Capital co-led the financing, bringing total funding to $57.6 million.
IT, security and finance teams can use Kindo to govern agents built in its platform or connected from other tools. Its gateways check access to company data and AI models, while finance teams can track costs by agent or department and enforce budgets. Customers can host the software on their own infrastructure.
Deep Hat Sift, a tool for agents running in Kindo’s own framework, aims to reduce model runs by filtering alerts the agent would otherwise dismiss. Launched October 28, it requires human approval of a filtering threshold and sends a sample through to check for misses. Those checks measure agreement with the agent’s judgments; Kindo publishes no accuracy or savings figure for the tool.
The raise exceeds the $20.6 million Drive Capital-led round reported by GamesBeat in July 2024, when Kindo also acquired open-source cybersecurity AI project WhiteRabbitNeo. Kindo plans to use the new capital to expand its sales operation and develop its management platform and Deep Hat tools.
Air-traffic surveillance provider Aireon bought Kindo’s software to automate security work. In a January 2025 TechTarget interview, its then-CISO Peter Clay described five corporate IT and cybersecurity staff facing 130 million to 150 million daily log events.
An Aireon team member built agents in Kindo to answer developers’ questions about security requirements and identify developers who needed help implementing controls, TechTarget reported. Kindo now lists Clay on its leadership page as vice president of forward deployed engineering.
