Archestra Inc., founded in 2024 by Matvey Kukuy and Ildar Iskhakov, has raised $3.3 million in new funding to advance its open-source, security-first platform for deploying AI agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in enterprise environments. The pre-seed round included Zero Prime Ventures, Celero Ventures, RTP Global Management, and Aloniq Inc.
Kukuy and Iskhakov previously co-founded Amixr, acquired by Grafana Labs in 2021, and Kukuy later co-founded Keep Alerting Ltd., acquired by Elastic in 2024. With Archestra, they aim to enable organizations to adopt MCP securely, providing guardrails, orchestration, and permission controls to protect sensitive systems. Positioned as an “MCP orchestrator,” Archestra is building the infrastructure layer for safe enterprise-scale AI adoption.
