Why we started Corbits

We started Corbits because we kept seeing that gap. Teams were racing to build with agents, but the infrastructure to govern them safely just wasn't there yet. Somebody had to build the layer that makes agentic AI accountable, not just capable. That's what we're doing.

Autonomy without accountability isn't progress. If an agent can act on your behalf, you need to be able to verify its work and stop it if something goes wrong.

We also think governance has to be built in from the start, not bolted on after something breaks. By the time an incident happens, it's too late to start asking what the agent did and why. The audit trail should already exist.

And we don't buy the idea that speed and safety are in tension. Companies shouldn't have to choose between moving fast with AI and actually knowing what it's doing. Good infrastructure gets you both.

Agentic AI is still early. Most companies are just figuring out what it even means to run agents at scale, and the standards for doing that responsibly haven't been written yet.

We want to help write them, without slowing anyone down. That means building tools that let enterprises adopt agentic AI with confidence instead of crossing their fingers.

Alex has spent his career at the edge of new technology, from open source and blockchain to AI. Before Corbits, he founded Holaplex, and he's built experience across startup investment, entrepreneurship, and product leadership along the way. He talks regularly about the future of agentic payments and open infrastructure, and the belief driving Corbits is the same one driving him: as AI agents get more autonomy, the systems around them have to keep up.
