MCP AI agent security startup Runlayer launches with 8 unicorns, $11M from Khosla’s Keith Rabois and Felicis

Runlayer, a new startup, launched to provide an all-in-one security gateway and observability for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) after researchers discovered multiple MCP security issues—most notably prompt-injection vulnerabilities that exposed private GitHub repositories and an Asana MCP bug that could have leaked customer data—highlighting widespread adoption of MCP and a growing market for security solutions to mitigate agent access and data-exfiltration risks.
