Mintive raises $11M to give every AI agent its own identity and permissions

Jiquan Ngiam's startup Mintive launched a platform that gives each AI agent its own identity and permissions, backed by $11M led by Cowboy Ventures.
- Problem: every agent at work inherits the access of whoever set it up, so security teams keep saying no.
- Approach: enablement connects tools and agents while security sets one policy every call passes through — two owners, one system.
- Traction: Modern Treasury shipped a bank-ops agent in under 3 weeks, cutting a 4-hour task to minutes; the University of Michigan runs it for 150K students, faculty and staff.
