SaaS infrastructure startup Scalekit has raised $5.5 million in a seed round led by Together Fund and Z47, with support from angel investors including Adam Frankl, Oliver Jay, and Jagadeesh Kunda. The funding will power its mission to simplify authentication and security for SaaS and AI-native teams.
Building Modular Infrastructure for SaaS and AI
Founded by Satya Devarakonda and a team of ex-Freshworks engineers, Scalekit offers modular, drop-in authentication and actions infrastructure. Unlike monolithic tools such as Auth0, Scalekit provides à-la-carte adoption, allowing developers to integrate only the features they require. Its product suite includes MCP Auth for agentic servers, Agent Actions for secure API calls, and modern enterprise-grade authentication with SSO and SCIM support.
From Freshworks Experience to Agentic Era
The founding team previously built Freshworks’ in-house authentication platform, now used by over 50,000 businesses and 2 million users. Their experience revealed the complexity SaaS companies face in delivering secure, enterprise-ready identity solutions. Scalekit is now extending this expertise to meet the needs of AI-driven, agentic applications.
With new protocols like the Model Context Protocol (MCP), applications increasingly expose functionalities to AI agents rather than just human users. Scalekit aims to provide the authentication and actions layer for this emerging ecosystem.
Early Adoption and Market Traction
Scalekit’s infrastructure is already being used by startups such as Hubbl, Sifthub, Fello, Unstract, Tiphaus, and Aerchain. By enabling smooth agentic workflows, the platform is helping these teams move quickly from prototypes to production while maintaining enterprise-level security.
Final Take
Scalekit’s seed funding signals a strong demand for flexible, developer-first authentication tools as SaaS and AI-native startups prepare for scale in the agentic era.
