About Anon
Anon is building the identity layer for the automated internet.
Our developer toolkit enables AI agents to securely integrate with any service or application on behalf of users, powering the next generation of AI applications. Since launching in 2023, we've scaled to thousands of active developers and 50+ customers, including many leading AI agent companies, reaching tens of thousands of end-users.
We've raised over $13M from top investors including Union Square Ventures and Abstract Ventures to pursue our vision of a world where billions of AI agents are authenticated and managed via Anon. To learn more about our mission, culture, and the type of candidates we hire, visit careers.anon.com.
