Stage at our first check

Headquarters
Team today
Founded by Nadia Farouk and Ben Ostrowski.
Every company now runs software that can call tools, read files, and take actions on a user's behalf. Hexboard sits in front of those calls and enforces what an agent is allowed to do, with a record of what it actually did.
It is the boring control layer that security teams will require before they let an agent near production. The company is early and the category is younger than the company.
The surface area here is expanding faster than anyone can patch, and Nadia has been writing runtime defenses since long before agents existed. We would rather back that person early than wait for the category to be obvious.
