Kindo raises $30 million for a control center that governs and budgets enterprise AI agents
Kindo, which makes software to oversee the AI agents a company runs, has raised $30 million, Tech Funding News reported. Crosspoint Capital and Forgepoint Capital invested alongside TFX Capital and CircleRock Capital, with existing backers including Drive Capital, Riot Ventures and Eniac Ventures. Kindo reported about 800% year-on-year revenue growth in 2026.
Its AI Control Center finds agents already running in a company, including ones deployed without IT approval, and shows what each one accesses, costs and achieves. Gateways audit agents' calls to data, tools and models, existing employee permissions extend to agents, and support teams can step in or take over an agent that goes wrong. Finance teams can track token spend by employee, agent or project and set hard budget limits.
"What's missing is the tooling that lets an organization centrally control how those agents are built, what data they can reach, where that data can go, and what they cost," said founder and CEO Ron Williams, a former CIO at Riot Games. The money goes into sales and into the control center and Kindo's Deep Hat models.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?
Tensordyne
This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
