Based in Seattle, Washington, Certiv provides runtime assurance security software designed to govern artificial intelligence agents operating on employee endpoints across Windows, Mac, and Linux environments. The enterprise platform intercepts and observes autonomous agent actions to enforce corporate policies, actively blocking risky behaviors such as unauthorized code execution or restricted file access. This infrastructure enables the safe enterprise adoption of AI agents within development, operations, and knowledge workflows. Operating with a team of nine employees, the startup emerged from stealth in March 2026 with $4.2 million in pre-seed funding to support engineering and multiple pilot deployments. This initial financing round was backed by venture capital firms including Aviso Ventures, Founders Co-op, and Fortson. Certiv was founded in 2025 by Chief Executive Officer Jason Needham, Chief Technology Officer Paul Allen, and Chief AI Officer Dan Morris.
