Trussed AI is the AI control plane that enforces policy at execution time across every AI request and response.
Trussed embeds directly in the AI execution path between enterprise applications, AI agents, and underlying models, ensuring every interaction is evaluated against enterprise and regulatory policy before outputs reach users or downstream systems.
Designed for regulated enterprises in healthcare, insurance, and financial services, Trussed replaces after-the-fact governance and fragmented point tools with a single enforcement layer that operates in real time.
Built for engineering and security teams, Trussed delivers:
•Execution-time policy enforcement on every AI call
• Prompt inspection, output filtering, and MCP tool-call governance
• Continuous, timestamped audit artifact generation
• Model-agnostic enforcement across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, LLaMA, Mistral, and open source
• Cloud and private data center deployment supported by design
In production at a top U.S. insurance carrier, Trussed governs 1B+ tokens per day across hundreds of applications with 99.9% uptime.
Backed by ManchesterStory, Trussed enables regulated enterprises to scale generative and agentic AI without sacrificing control at the moment of execution.
See enforcement in action at www.trussed.ai
As regulatory pressure mounts from the FDA, FTC, HIPAA, EU AI Act, and NIST, most organizations admit theyre unprepared. The risk is growing fast with the rise of agentic AI, where systems act autonomously, often without human oversight.
Traditional governance approaches built by patching point tools can’t keep up. Trussed AI embeds autonomous compliance directly into the AI infrastructure, ensuring every use case is governed from day one without relying on a fragile patchwork of tools.

The word Zoë is Greek for “life” or “to give birth”, it reflects our vision to bring life to the employee benefits industry through giving birth to our portfolio of companies.
We value our culture and deeply believe in return on character:
We dream to build a culture centered company that truly embodies life at its fullest. We’ve seen first hand that happy employees make the biggest and most impactful dents in the world even in small numbers. Our goal is to embed this into all of our portfolio companies starting with the Employee Benefits space.
Our unique focus in Employee Benefits:
Our mission is to build the next generation of companies who will elevate the Employee Benefits Space. We have designed our focus around everything a founder would need to be successful in founding and exiting in this space.

We’ve also strategically placed industry giants representing the ecosystem on our cap table. This will help drive efficient market validation engagements and swiftly build meaningful momentum for our portfolio companies.
Superman vs Ironman:
Traditional investing is looking for the “Superman” - the search for perfection. Venture Studios is the creation of the great - “Ironman”. We’re taking the already knowledgeable individual and providing them an Ironman suit. Every subject matter expert can become an ironman with Zoë Foundry.
The perfect co-founder:
We believe the best founders are already subject matter experts in their field. We are specifically looking for co-founders who have been in this industry for a number of years or have failed or succeeded in founding a company in this space. The perfect co-founder will have some background in product development and/or have magical talents selling into the space. We will provide everything else.
