Scalekit, an AI-powered SaaS startup, has raised $5.5 million in its seed funding round led by Together Fund and Z47, with participation from operator-angels including Adam Frankl, Oliver Jay, and Jagadeesh Kunda.
Founded in 2023 by Satya Devarakonda and Ravi Madhabhushi, Scalekit provides AI developers with authentication and tool-calling infrastructure. Scalekit offers modular, drop-in infrastructure for SaaS and AI-first teams.
Scalekit’s stack is designed to be plug-and-play for developers navigating the new world of agentic workflows. Instead of hand-coding fragile token flows, teams can spin up secure OAuth 2.1 servers in minutes and give agents the ability to safely act on behalf of users across apps like Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, and Notion. The result: developers get to focus on AI features, while Scalekit handles the identity plumbing that keeps agents both powerful and contained.
Alongside agent identity, Scalekit offers à-la-carte auth modules that drop into apps in minutes, letting developers ship auth upgrades with no forklift migration.
- Magic links
- Two-factor authentication
- SSO, and
- Machine-to-machine service tokens
Satya Devarakonda, co-founder and CEO, said, “For years, software focused on blocking bots. But now, business apps must let authenticated agents in and decide exactly what data they can read or write. Scalekit sits at that intersection of verifying every agent’s identity and enforcing precise, least-privilege access through a single drop-in toolkit.”
Ravi Madabhushi, co-founder and CTO, Scalekit, said, “After scaling auth for 50,000+ businesses at Freshworks, we saw the next challenge coming: identities that live in code, not user directories. Scalekit delivers short-lived scoped tokens and plug-in tooling that make agentic workflows secure.”
Pranay Desai, Managing Director at Z47, said, “Auth is one of those invisible layers of software: you only notice it when it fails. Getting it right for a world of autonomous agents is a non-negotiable challenge. Satya and Ravi bring lessons of building auth for tens of thousands of enterprises, and the ambition to reimagine it for the AI era.”
Girish Mathrubootham, Founding Partner, Together Fund, said, “AI agents are emerging as first-class users of business software, and current identity stacks can’t keep up. Scalekit spotted the shift early and built the missing agent identity infrastructure. We believe that foundation will power the next billion agent identities.”
