@shivanipod this is very cool and needed i feel as if most 'personal agents' companies r great but they lack trust/security which is what makes me hesitant on using them fully
this is a critically important moment for cyber defense with AI; there is not much time to act.
we are happy if you want to work with us or any of our competitors or partners, but please take this moment seriously.
only an urgent and intense collective response will work.
Today, we're introducing @lato_ai, backed by @ycombinator.
We are changing how investments are made.
Our first focus is commercial due diligence (CDD): currently private equity spends on a McKinsey report ~$500k which takes weeks.
To give you the scale: 36k CDDs were done in

We are changing how investments are made.
Our first focus is commercial due diligence (CDD): currently private equity spends on a McKinsey report ~$500k which takes weeks.
To give you the scale: 36k CDDs were done in 2025, which is c.$18bn spent a year.
Based on 200+ experts calls and multiple studies over last 4 weeks our agents did, we know that:
1) Voice agents do better expert calls than people
2) Research agents find more relevant information and synthesise it systematically
With our approach we do research on any company or market in days at a fraction of the cost.
We already work with leading funds that push the frontier.

We are excited to officially announce Trident is part of Y Combinator’s Summer 2026 batch, and that we’ve raised our pre-seed from Y Combinator, with participation from Cory Levy (Z Fellows).
Here’s why we built it: AI is accelerating how software is built, but on the opposite end, they’re also accelerating how attackers find and exploit vulnerabilities. As AI gets more powerful, that gap will only grow. We built Trident to defend companies at the same speed.
What it does:
1. Scans every pull request for known n day, vulnerable dependencies, and logic flaws before merge
2. Safely runs scheduled, continuous penetration tests against your web apps, APIs, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes)
We've found critical vulnerabilities across bug bounty programs and in half a dozen unicorns and prevented tens of millions in potential losses with our existing clients
if youre curious to see what we can find feel free to send me a dm!
