Barrikade: early-stage AI agent security startup open to investor conversations

Barrikade is security ops for the next generation of companies. AI-native teams are putting agents into production faster than they can secure them, and their customers are starting to ask for proof.

We test AI agents and LLM-powered applications the way an attacker would (prompt injection, tool misuse, data leakage, over-broad permissions) and turn the results into evidence that buyers and procurement teams trust.

Where we are:

• Running paid pilots with select startups

• Backed by UCC IGNITE, Enterprise Ireland and NVIDIA

• Based in Cork, Ireland

Initial focus: early-stage health-tech companies using conversational AI, who need security evidence before hospital and health-service procurement reviews stall their deals.

We're open to conversations with angels and VCs investing in AI, cybersecurity and B2B SaaS. Happy to meet in Lisbon.
