Building The Future Of Secure Software
At Trent AI, our vision is to make every software product secure by design, delivering invisible, automatic security for the AI age, and empowering teams to innovate rapidly.
Context-Driven Security Through Specialized Agentic AI Technology
Today, every company is a software company. Software is becoming dynamic, autonomous, and increasingly agentic, but security hasn’t kept up. Traditional security tools react too late, disconnected from the context in which modern software is built. Critical risks are introduced long before code exists, yet teams are left with noisy alerts, false positives, and fragmented point solutions.
Trent AI is changing all that. We are reimagining security for this new era by embedding an intelligent, adaptive security layer directly into development workflows, grounding global expertise in each customer’s unique environment. We are making security invisible, automatic, and scalable, to empower teams to innovate freely and more rapidly than ever before.
Leadership
We’ve built products at scale before, at AWS, Spotify, Confluent, and Veeam, and we know what it takes to earn customer trust in security-critical systems. We’re grounding that experience in deep AI research, not chasing hype, because the goal is a company that stands the test of time.
Eno Thereska (Co-founder and CEO) was a Distinguished Engineer at Alcion, AWS, and Confluent. Zhenwen Dai (Co-founder and CTO) led reinforcement learning at Spotify and Amazon. Christoph Bartenstein (Chief Product Officer) was a Product Director at AWS, Microsoft, and multiple startups. Josh Siegel (Head of Revenue) was a Sales Director at Confluent. Paz Klapztein (Head of Operations) led operations at Spotify. Zack Rossman (Head of Engineering) was an engineering leader at Veeam. Neil Lawrence (Co-founder and Chief Scientist) is DeepMind Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Cambridge, ensuring our approach to agentic security is grounded in rigorous, applied AI research.
Team
We Build Trust in Code, and in People
Our company values are our guiding principles, allowing us to build a successful, high-performing, motivated, and united team while delighting our customers with an amazing product. We believe the best teams are diverse, curious, and empowered to experiment. Security is a serious field, but progress comes from creativity and openness.
- Trust is our default setting. We earn it, nurture it, and keep it.
- Stewardship starts with us. We take initiative, stay accountable, and collaborate.
- Different minds. One mission. Diversity in thought, unity in execution.
- Constraints breed innovation. Limits spark bold solutions.
- Customer trust, not just tech. AI is the engine. Their needs are the map.
- We work asynchronously, value documentation over meetings, and celebrate small wins as much as big ones.
