New York, November 10th / PRNewswire / -- As a security platform used to expand autonomous AI agents, Scalestack today announced that it has received new financing led by Leonis Capital. Other participants include Zapier, Deel, and AAF. At the same time, Scalestack also acquired the AI agent workspace Alysio. This financing and acquisition will jointly expand Scalestack to become a governance and control layer between the agents, the models they use, and the systems on which the agents operate.
Enterprise software was originally designed for humans. Today, agents are rapidly becoming its main users; they read records, modify systems, and make decisions within CRM, recruitment management systems, ERP, and data warehouses. Most companies are not yet prepared for this, yet every business needs to establish a security layer between their agents and the systems that these agents interact with. Without this layer, companies cannot account for what the agents have read, modified, how much money has been spent, or what benefits have been gained. As a result, agents are still strictly restricted: they require prompts and supervision, and their operations are essentially still manual.
Scalestack is exactly this layer. It can be regarded as a dispatching console for proxy work: each proxy receives tasks with the correct context, operates within the company's rules, and leaves records of what it has done, what changes it has made, and how much time it has taken. At the lower level, Scalestack moves data between all systems and converts the data and the company's business logic into a context that proxies can trust. At the same time, it controls what each proxy can read, write, and process, regardless of the model or tool in which it is running. Want to learn more? Welcome to schedule a demonstration.
Governing agents boil down to three things: what they know, the rules they follow, and what is allowed to be modified. Scalestack is currently handling these three capabilities in a production environment, covering dozens of enterprises and processing over 6 million records each quarter.
In the products of Typeform, Scalestack converts over 400,000 forms submitted each month into credible context with an accuracy rate of over 90%, ensuring that every agent taking action based on responses can start from complete information. In DigitalOcean, Scalestack applies the company's regional rules to any content before writing it back to Salesforce; this is the same check that agents need to perform before accessing system records. In Hueman, Scalestack helps to restructure the candidate screening process, allowing agents to evaluate each applicant according to recruitment policies within a workflow of agentic that sets boundaries and records each decision, reducing the decision-making time from 9 days to the same day. In Clio, Scalestack serves as the orchestration and safeguard layer between its data lake, data providers, agentic, research, and Salesforce. The business logic of Clio is stored in Scalestack, and no content is written back to system records before passing through the checkpoint of Scalestack. More than 30 autonomous workflows have been built on top of Clio. Attento is an agent for Scalestack; it can build and run governed workflows based on pure English descriptions and has become known as "the agent's favorite agent" among the Clio team.
"I often say that the form is just the beginning. Typeform is transforming each response into a workflow that AI can process immediately. Before the emergence of Scalestack, it was very difficult to convert answers and emails into a credible context about the sender. Now, we can do this within seconds, autonomously, across millions of submissions, and that's exactly what enables our customers' workflows to take action based on that information." — Typeform, Chief Product and Technology Officer Aleks Bass
"Soon, most of the work in any enterprise will be done by agents, and over time, no company will entrust these tasks to models that they cannot control. Companies will have the context and rules upon which the agents rely to function, and every action will be checked, governed, and recorded, regardless of what the next generation of models is. This is the layer we are building, and our customers are already using it. With the help of Leonis, strong corporate partners, and the acquisition of Alysio, we can achieve this goal even faster." —Scalestack Co-founder and CEO Elio Narciso
Leonis Capital led this round of financing. This fund is a research-driven AI fund, with partners including former OpenAI researchers, and supporters including researchers and executives from Anthropic and Nvidia. The global human resources and compensation platform Deel, as well as the leader in automation and orchestration Zapier, participated in this round of financing as strategic investors.
Scalestack has already provided the context and business rules necessary for enterprises to operate. Alysio further complements with a workspace for agents to execute tasks, thus allowing the same layer to inform agents about what is real as well as to govern what they actually do. This acquisition has accelerated the advancement of Scalestack's governance roadmap.
"As AI agents shift from answering questions to performing actions, the bottleneck is moving from model intelligence to corporate trust and control. Every company needs a way to provide the agents with the correct context, to enforce business rules, and to govern their behavior across various systems. We believe that Scalestack is building the foundational layer of this new corporate architecture, and the progress we've seen in its implementation with large clients confirms that this transformation is already underway." — Leonis Capital Managing Partner Jay Zhao
"The capability of an agent depends on its underlying data. The ability to transform high-volume raw data into executable contexts, as Scalestack does, naturally fits well with the workflows our customers run on Zapier. We are delighted to support them." —Zapier Co-founder and CEO Wade Foster
This round of financing will be used to expand the engineering and marketing teams of Scalestack, and to accelerate the next phase of its platform: a gateway that governs each request from any agent, orchestrator, or model according to the rules of each individual company; as well as an orchestration layer for autonomous, continuously running agents that can exist in the long term, capable of operating both in the cloud and locally.
