Modern Technical Fund

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Our very own @Caust1c is speaking at @ClickHouseDB's Open House conference next week May 26-28! Alan is sharing insight into how the team at RunReveal has operated ClickHouse across Cloudflare, Segment, and now a purpose-built security data platform handling petabyte-scale event logs. His session covers a decade of real schema decisions, operational lessons, and a technical breakdown of why ClickHouse's architecture outperforms legacy approaches for security analytics at scale.

When one agent calls another to query Snowflake, it passes down the same broad credentials. Nothing is scoped to the task. Nothing expires with the session. You can't tell which agent did what, on whose behalf, or why. Today we're launching Keycard for Multi-Agent Apps 🧵

The only thing that could make agent identity a more challenging problem is adding agent-to-agent hand-offs! So that's why I'm incredibly pumped for @KeycardLabs to release 'Keycard for Multi-Agent Apps' Infra for secure, delegated access between agent 🤖

Wow okay security friends listen up: @RunReveal has some of the BEST customers out there - @temporalio @harvey @cursor_ai @linear @ClickHouseDB @togethercompute Can't imagine a better team to put on a killer security / user conference 😎 See you Sept 29 in SF!

We just had our first company retreat last week in Biella, Italy — planning sessions, great food and wine, and river rafting in a thunderstorm (the thunderstorm part wasn't intentional) We're a fully remote team spread across 15 countries, so moments like these are really special for us! If you'd like to join the next one, we're hiring :) metalbear.com/careers/?utm_s…

👀👀👀 keep an eye on @papercliping

Everyone chased LLMs. @fal went all in on generative media🎯 From images → video → audio - they built the infra to run it fast And soon went from 0 to 100s of millions of revenue 📈 @robby_mtf & @tnachen talk with Fal's founding engineer @isidentical about the journey 💪

I was lucky to meet the @fal team early, I was unlucky to not become an investor :) They focused on an underserved market - Midjourney was taking off but everyone else focused on LLMs, not images or media @tnachen & I dig into their journey with founding engineer @isidentical👇

So many of you are giving your agents your credentials, API keys, and write access to everything — and trusting that it's secure. It's clearly not. Just in the last month: - Mercor lost 4TB of contractor data - Meta's agent tripped an internal permissions breach - Claude source code ended up on GitHub - Anthropic's Mythos may be too good at hacking to release publicly. Enterprises are still securing agents like chatbots. Static API keys. Guardrails. Neat permissions. But to be functional, agents cross systems, pull data they shouldn't, and do it at 3am while nobody's watching. So how do we tackle an exponentially growing attack surface? To unpack this all, I sat down with @amanda_robs for the latest CLIMB. She's been investing in cybersecurity well before most AI founders were thinking about it — and she mapped the full agent security challenge at @mtf_vc. If you're shipping agents or just using them daily, this one's worth your time. Link in comments 👇

What happens when we start running fleets of AI agents - will the chaos overwhelm us? In our latest episode, @robby_mtf & @tnachen talk with @pedramamini, creator of @RunMaestroAI - an OSS framework for orchestrating multi-agent, long-running tasks Check it out 🚀

Couldn’t be more proud of @robby_mtf for launching @mtf_vc She’s seen firsthand what it takes to win — and is now building exactly what early stage technical founders need most If you’re building in cyber & infra, you should know her!

@robby_mtf @DrataHQ 11 companies & counting including @KeycardLabs @RunReveal @metalbear @detectionsai @Manifold_ai_sec

The pace has changed, founders need every edge Which is why I started @mtf_vc - to give cyber + infra teams unfair access: customers, hires, operators Saw it firsthand with @DrataHQ - the right ppl made all the difference We're built for founders in cyber & infra - reach out🚀

@robby_mtf @DrataHQ 🚀🚀🚀🚀

Big announcement from @KeycardLabs 🎉 They now allow AI coding agents to safely access tools and data ONLY for the scoped task 🦾 Huge unlock for agent security!

“We are not pushing them to use mirrord. Everyone is asking for it.” This is what Netanel Abergel, Director of R&D at @mondaydotcom, had to say about mirrord. Read the full case study to learn the impact mirrord has had at monday.com, including: ⚡ Environment setup in 10 seconds (down from 30 minutes) 🚀 New developer onboarding in ~1 hour (down from 3–5 days) 💸 $0 cloud cost for dev environments (eliminated entirely) 👩‍💻 245+ engineers developing on a single shared cluster See how monday.com improved developer velocity with mirrord 👇 metalbear.com/mirrord/case-s…
