Governance platform for agentic AI: discover, vet, and continuously monitor third party AI tools and agents, with compliance controls for regulated industries.

TectoAI builds a governance platform for the agentic AI stack, positioning itself as an HR system for AI employees. It helps enterprises identify workflows suited to agentic tools, evaluate candidate tools through structured profiles that read like resumes covering capabilities, certifications, risks, and policies, and then continuously monitor deployed tools for drift, hallucinations, cascading failures, and compliance risks.

The platform targets regulated industries with institutional controls including SAML SSO, audit ready logs, WORM compliant storage, and on premises PII and sensitive data redaction that keeps data in the customer environment. Alerts cover unauthorized agent actions, tool misuse, and data exfiltration, and a continuously updated feed tracks AI incidents, lawsuits, and regulatory actions from the EU AI Act to US state laws.

TectoAI is a Y Combinator Summer 2025 company founded by Niosha Afsharikia and Roksana Baleshzar, based in San Francisco, with roughly eight hundred thousand dollars raised per third party reporting. It is early stage with a small team.

Pricing

Contact sales

Contact onlyLow variable cost

What is public

Nothing numeric. Positioning, compliance commitments, and scaling claims are public; commercial terms are not.

Billing mechanics

Not publicly documented; contact driven contracts.

Cost watchouts

Scope likely priced by number of agents or tools governed; expansion from vetting into continuous monitoring is the documented commercial motion.

Variable cost rationale

Contracted governance platform with scaling claimed from ten to ten thousand agents; no usage metering documented that would create bill variability inside a contract term.

Additional watchouts

Very early stage vendor (YC S25, small team); commercial terms and packaging are likely to change quickly.

Sales call required

Yes — required for paid access

Free / trial

No free tier or trial documented

Key ambiguities

Pricing axis (per agent governed, per seat, or flat platform) is not public.

Missing data

All pricing figures, billing axis, contract terms, trial availability.
