Arcade.dev announced that it has raised $60 million in Series A funding to expand its platform for securing and governing AI agents deployed in production environments.
The financing round was led by SYN Ventures and included strategic investments from Morgan Stanley and Wipro. Combined with the company’s $12 million seed round raised in 2025, Arcade has secured a total of $72 million in funding.
Based in San Francisco, Arcade develops infrastructure designed to provide authorization, governance, and execution capabilities for AI agents operating across enterprise systems. The company said many organizations have struggled to move AI agents beyond pilot programs because security teams lack visibility into which agents are taking actions, on whose behalf, and against which resources.
According to Arcade, its platform serves as a secure action layer for production AI agents by providing delegated authorization, reliability, and audit capabilities. The company noted that it authored the Model Context Protocol (MCP) authorization specification adopted by Anthropic and said its technology is already used in production by major enterprises, including a leading U.S. bank, Prosus, and LangChain.
Arcade said tool call volumes on its platform have increased 25-fold over the past six months and that it has developed more tools focused on delegated user authorization than the rest of the ecosystem combined.
The company said its platform addresses three major barriers preventing enterprise AI deployments from reaching production. First, it enables agents to inherit only the permissions held by the user for a specific action, reducing the risks associated with overprivileged accounts and limiting potential damage from incorrect or unintended agent behavior. Second, Arcade offers more than 8,000 MCP tools built specifically for agent-based workflows to improve reliability and reduce failed actions. Third, the platform maintains a complete audit trail that records which agent performed a given action, on behalf of which user, and against which resource.
SYN Ventures Managing Partner Jay Leek, who is joining Arcade’s board of directors, said enterprises are reaching a point where AI adoption requires infrastructure that enables safe deployment. Morgan Stanley Head of Strategic Investments Zheng Wang added that the firm’s investment reflects the growing importance of authorization and governance capabilities as enterprises expand their use of AI agents.
Arcade said the new capital will be used to accelerate product development, expand its ecosystem, and hire additional employees as enterprise AI deployments scale from pilot programs to thousands of production workflows.
KEY QUOTES:
“Agents don’t fail in production because the model is wrong. They fail because nobody can prove that for any given action by an agent, whether that agent on behalf of that user can perform that action on that resource. That’s what we built.”
Alex Salazar, Co-Founder and CEO of Arcade.dev
“Every wave of enterprise software has eventually hit the same wall, where adoption outruns the infrastructure that makes it safe. Agents are at that wall right now. Arcade is the only company we’ve seen that built for the production reality from day one, which is why every serious enterprise agent deployment is going to run through them.”
Jay Leek, Board Director of Arcade and Managing Partner at SYN Ventures
“As enterprises increasingly utilize AI agents across their operations, Arcade has developed the infrastructure to help ensure proper authorization and governance. We are pleased to be investing in this round to support the company’s growth and continued development.”
Zheng Wang, Head of Strategic Investments at Morgan Stanley
