Mintive has announced a $7 million seed round led by Cowboy Ventures, bringing its total funding to $11 million. Other investors include Coatue, Operator Collective and Hustle Fund, TechCrunch reported.

The startup provides controls over which cloud services AI agents can access and which actions they can perform. It also routes requests to different models, caps costs and monitors agents across a company. Mintive says it has won over 50 enterprise customers since launching its product in February, in a market that also includes major AI and cloud providers.
