Outerlimit Raises $16M to Build Zero Trust Security Layer for Autonomous AI Agents

Outerlimit raised $16 million to build a zero-trust authorization layer for autonomous AI agents.

London- and New York-based Outerlimit emerged from stealth on September 22, 2026, with $16 million in pre-seed funding from AlbionVC, Evolution Equity Partners, and Crane Venture Partners. It plans a zero-trust layer that fragments credentials and reconstructs them only after an agent's identity, policy, and execution context are verified, so off-policy tool calls are denied. Adoption is staged as discovery of agents, tools, MCP servers, and shadow AI, then observation, then enforcement. Founders Tony Pepper and Neil Larkins previously led Egress, acquired by KnowBe4 in 2024; the announcement included no independent tests or customer deployments.

Outerlimit Raises $16 Million to Stop Rogue AI Agents From Causing Harm

Outerlimit raises $16M to build security layer preventing harm from rogue autonomous AI agents.

Outerlimit has emerged from stealth with $16 million in pre-seed funding to build a security layer for autonomous agentic AI. The company's platform uses a discover, observe, and enforce model to prevent rogue agents from causing harm by binding identity, authorization, and action into a single operation. The approach sidesteps alignment problems by treating all agents as potentially misaligned and enforcing predefined policies externally.
