Neo: Why This a16z-Backed Company Is on Fire

Neo is one of the a16z-backed companies we flag as on fire now — not because of hype adjectives, but because of category position, capital intensity, and what founders/investors are actually hiring it for.

What Neo does

Agentic software control / security for endpoints where AI agents act continuously beyond human pace.

Why it is interesting (the job to be done)

a16z led Neo’s seed arguing the shift from antivirus→EDR will repeat for agentic endpoints: security must answer “is this action from a real, authorized agent?” at execution time. Glow and Neo together show how crowded and important AI-era endpoint security has become.
