Maksym Andriushchenko of ELLIS Institute Tübingen launches Exponential Security Labs to secure AI agents via automated red-teaming

Today we are announcing our new startup: Exponential Security Labs.

AI agents are being deployed everywhere, making high-stakes decisions and increasingly automating research itself. Yet their reliability and security remain unsolved technical problems, on a frontier that keeps shifting. Our mission is to secure agentic systems through self-improving red-teaming and guardrail agents, leveraging autonomous AI research.

We sit at the intersection of safety and self-improvement, building on a decade of research in adversarial robustness and AI safety. We're looking for exceptional people to join us!

We're looking for exceptional people to join us on this mission, and we're also eager to talk to companies deploying AI agents who want to improve their security. Please get in touch!

💥I’m very excited to announce Exponential Security Labs: our new agent security startup based in Tübingen!

Now everyone is deploying agents for increasingly high-stakes applications. Yet their reliability and security remain unsolved technical problems. Our mission is to secure agentic systems through self-improving red-teaming and guardrail agents.

Tübingen is a special place to build a company in this space due to its incredibly high concentration of AI safety talent (ELLIS Institute, MPI-IS, University of Tübingen). Reach out if you're interested—we are hiring!

We are also looking for customers—please get in touch!
