FriskAI Launches the Runtime Intelligence Platform for AI Agents, Announces $3.6 Million Pre-Seed Funding Round

FriskAI, the runtime intelligence platform for AI agents, led by Neel Palrecha and the team, has announced its official launch and a $3.6 million pre-seed funding round led by MaC Venture Capital, with participation from Wischoff Ventures, NEA partner Rick Yang, and a group of strategic angel investors.

FriskAI sits between AI agents and the tools they use, capturing every action taken by an agent.

The platform gives organizations visibility into agent behavior, enabling teams to understand how agents operate, detect unexpected activity, investigate incidents, and deploy AI more confidently across critical workflows.

AI agents are becoming core operational infrastructure, but organizations still lack visibility into their behavior once deployed. FriskAI provides runtime intelligence for AI agents, giving companies the visibility needed to understand, monitor, and confidently deploy agents in production.

— Neel Palrecha, Founder and CEO, FriskAI

As enterprises move from deterministic software to autonomous AI agents, understanding real-world agent behavior is becoming a new operational challenge.

Unlike traditional software, AI agents make decisions based on changing context, available tools, and evolving objectives. This creates new operational, compliance, and security risks that existing observability and security platforms were not designed to address.

AI agents cannot be responsibly scaled without visibility into their behavior. FriskAI provides operational visibility that helps teams troubleshoot issues faster and deploy AI with greater confidence.

— Jason Moore, Staff Software Engineer, Sana Benefits.

FriskAI is designed for organizations operating in high-stakes sectors such as healthcare, insurance, and financial services, where understanding AI agent behavior is critical to operational confidence and compliance.

Every technology cycle creates companies that provide infrastructure others ultimately depend on, from AWS in cloud computing to Cisco during the internet boom. AI agents represent the next cycle, expanding into areas of the economy that traditional software never fully reached. Enterprise adoption at scale will depend on the ability to trust agents with critical decisions and workflows.

— Marlon Nichols, Managing Partner, MaC Venture Capital

FriskAI is building the infrastructure layer for enterprise AI agents, giving companies visibility into agent activity, security over the systems they access, and greater confidence in their outputs. Solving these challenges could make FriskAI a critical part of the enterprise AI stack.

The $3.6 million pre-seed funding will support FriskAI’s engineering and go-to-market expansion, accelerate product development, and fund customer deployments.

The round will also advance the company’s runtime intelligence and AI agent behavioral analysis capabilities.
