Andreessen Horowitz says it is leading Neo’s seed round.
Neo is building agentic software control for a world where AI agents run directly on endpoints with the same privileges as the user they assist. The post argues that legacy controls like EDR, DLP, and Zero Trust break once systems can’t distinguish between a human action and an agent acting on that person’s behalf. It also highlights the founders’ security background: Nick Warner scaled SentinelOne through IPO, Shlomi Salem spent 11+ years in threat research there, and Eran Shirazi previously co-founded and led engineering at EasySend.
