Runlayer raised a $30M Series A co-led by Felicis and Khosla to build a control plane that brokers what enterprise agents can access across tools and data (Tech Startups). It lands the same week MCP's Enterprise-Managed Authorization extension went stable and Vercel shipped "Passport" for shadow-AI control.

Production agent rollouts hinge as much on access control as on model quality.
