Kontext, a startup building a runtime security layer for AI agents, has raised $4.0M in seed funding. The round was backed by 42CAP, a16z Crypto CSX, and HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds.
The company's pitch centers on timing: rather than monitoring what AI agents do and alerting after the fact, Kontext evaluates the intent behind every tool call and enforces authorization at the moment of execution, aiming to stop a harmful action before data is exposed or credentials are misused.
