Overview
Keycard provides identity and access management (IAM) purpose-built for AI agents in enterprises — controlling what agents can access, auditing actions, and enforcing permissions across tools and data. The company raised $8M seed co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and Boldstart Ventures, plus a $30M Series A led by Acrew Capital in October 2025, totaling $38M.
Why Keycard is interesting
As enterprises deploy agentic AI, non-human identity becomes a security surface — Keycard raised $38M across seed and Series A in October 2025 with a16z and Boldstart co-leading the seed.
