Preventive Layer for Agentic Era
UtopIQ (DBA of Schmidt-Morgan Corporation) is a preventive agentic security company building the identity and permissions infrastructure for autonomous AI agents. Their TRUST Protocol assigns immutable identities to AI agents at intake, enforces authorization boundaries, and provides a full audit ledger via AgentGuard360 — creating a tamper-proof governance layer that cannot be circumvented by AI or human bad actors. Founded in Fall 2024 and incorporated as a Texas C-Corp, UtopIQ holds a US-allowed patent with PCT international filing, and targets regulated industries including banking, healthcare, energy, and defense. Their go-to-market strategy spans federal government and military, Big 4 consulting distribution, and consumer/creator marketplaces via AWS, Azure, and Google.

Agentic AI is evolving at a pace that out-performs our current security infrastructure. Regulated industries are implementing agentic AI (virtual agentic and humanoid robotics) at an alarming pace without vital technical safeguards and controls in place to govern and authorize agentic access and related functions. Autonomous agents are functioning and making decisions that are not verifiable or auditable. Industries are operating without visibility into agentic performance, introducing significant risks to company assets and overall operations. Our technology activates PRIOR to any agent activity and is administered during intake process which allows UtopIQ to monitor preemptively all activities performed within enterprise network.
Update 4.1 - we designed our first UtopIQ Interactive Investor Pitch Experience HTML - mentors, leaders, please reach out to me to access - kristen@utopiq.ai Update 3.26 - continued discussions with big 4 firms around the application of UtopIQ technology to digital twins, a core capability that multiple industries are utilizing. when a digital twin undergoes security evaluation, every action it takes can be verifiably traceable back to a predefined, tamper-evident ruleset, turning what is typically a subjective testing process into a cryptographically provable compliance record - testing required for this use case, but UtopIQ is including this as one of four high value use cases that stretch beyond security and access management Update 3.23 - successful live demo of our tech @ SXSW keynote. Google, Accenture, Deloitte approached after the presentation - working on scheduling the Google meeting - demo, partnership discussion. Working on exploratory meeting with Red Bull to discuss their agentic strategy, scope partnership opportunity.
