Overview
- Willow emerged from stealth and announced a $7 million seed round led by Hetz Ventures on Thursday, June 4, 2026.
- The company says its platform gives each operating AI agent a verifiable identity by integrating with identity providers such as Okta and Microsoft Entra.
- Willow enforces runtime least-privilege rules, provides audit logs and approval workflows, and offers continuous discovery of unauthorized or 'shadow' AI usage across corporate networks.
- The product includes a catalog of more than 1,000 connectors plus 100+ skills and plugins and can connect popular models and agents like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude to internal systems.
- Willow cites an internal deployment at Wix covering roughly 5,000 employees and early pilots across security, fintech and real estate, and its launch could push enterprises and security teams to adopt agent-specific identity controls and stricter compliance checks.
