Mintive provides identity and access management for enterprise AI agents. Its platform includes an MCP gateway for controlling access to cloud services, an LLM gateway for routing requests and limiting costs, and monitoring tools that track agents across an organization. It also supports agents that perform long running tasks.

CEO Jiquan Ngiam was Coursera's founding engineer and later worked at Google Brain. CTO Vijay Vasudevan was one of the creators of TensorFlow at Google Brain. Mintive says it has gained more than 50 enterprise customers since launching its product in February, including Ro, Modern Treasury, the University of Michigan, Coursera, Apax and Stability AI.
