# Backed by $60M in funding, Oak steps out of stealth to fix the identity mess that AI agents are making worse

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Israeli startup Oak is emerging from stealth with $60M in seed funding co-led by Accel, CRV, and Greylock Partners. Founded by serial entrepreneur Shai Morag (previously sold Secdo to Palo Alto Networks and Ermetic to Tenable) and CPO Tal Marom, Oak is building a unified identity control plane for enterprises. The product addresses outdated IAM systems that struggle with AI agents and machine identities, offering an AI connector framework that maps access to actual app usage and removes unnecessary permissions in real time rather than through periodic reviews. The company has 50 employees, is already deployed by enterprise clients, and plans aggressive U.S. expansion.
