## Executive Summary

NewCore builds one platform to discover, secure, and govern human, machine, and AI-agent identities, treating agents as first-class identities with least-privilege access. It left stealth in June 2026 with a $66 million seed at a $300 million valuation, a large raise for a one-year-old company. Zohar Alon founded and led Dome9, which Check Point acquired, and Erez Yarkoni was the T-Mobile and Telstra CIO. NewCore names no reference customers publicly, and TechCrunch reports fewer than 10 customers and more than 10 design partners, so the raise leans on team and thesis more than proven revenue. Okta and Microsoft's Entra are adding agent-identity capabilities to platforms built for human employees, and NewCore's split-key design is an approach those rivals could also build.
