AIUC Raises $40M to Audit Frontier AI Models

AI agent certification startup Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company has raised $40 million to expand its auditing work from AI agents to frontier models. The company argues that security uncertainty, not capability gaps, is the main barrier slowing enterprise AI adoption. AIUC's AIUC-1 standard tests agents through roughly 5,000 risk and attack scenarios, with quarterly recertification. Clients include ElevenLabs, Cursor developer Anysphere, Harvey AI, KPMG and UiPath. Ribbit Capital led the Series A, bringing total funding to $55 million.
