Scalekit, a SaaS startup, has raised $5.5 million in a seed funding round led by Together Fund and Z47, with participation from angel investors including Adam Frankl, Oliver Jay, and Jagadeesh Kunda.
The funds will be used to accelerate development of Scalekit’s authentication stack for AI agents and drive adoption among SaaS and AI-first teams.
Founded in 2023 by Satya Devarakonda (CEO) and Ravi Madabhushi (CTO), along with a team of ex-Freshworks engineers, the startup offers modular, drop-in infrastructure for secure authentication and agentic workflows.
The founding team previously built Freshworks’ in-house authentication platform, now serving over 50,000 businesses and 2 million users and witnessed firsthand the challenges SaaS teams face in delivering enterprise-ready identity solutions.
Scalekit’s platform includes offerings such as MCP Auth for agentic servers, Agent Actions for secure API calls with consent and revocation, and modern human authentication with enterprise-ready features like SSO and SCIM.

Unlike monolithic solutions like Auth0, Scalekit takes an à-la-carte approach, enabling developers to adopt only what they need while offering scoped tokens and tools to manage agent identities securely.
The startup is positioning itself as the authentication and actions layer for AI-native applications, addressing security gaps as AI agents increasingly interact with business apps autonomously.
Early adopters include Hubbl, Sifthub, Fello, Unstract, Tiphaus, and Aerchain, which are already using Scalekit to move agentic workflows from prototype to production.
