Executive Summary

CodeIntegrity sells a runtime control layer for AI agents, software that inspects each tool call and blocks unsafe data flows before an agent acts. Its founders, Steven Jung and Abi Raghuram, built a reputation on offensive research, including compromising the app Notion in under four hours, work The Economist cited in September 2025. The research is further along than the business, which is in pilots with companies in regulated industries and shows no named customer. A $5 million seed led by the cybersecurity fund SYN Ventures backs the next stage. The control point CodeIntegrity sells is a capability the platforms hosting those agents could build themselves, so its edge is being early and sharp rather than owning something rivals cannot copy.
