Willow
Willow, formerly Webrix, builds an access platform that gives enterprise AI agents their own identities, enforces least-privilege permissions at runtime and surfaces shadow AI use across employees.
About Willow
Willow is an Israeli startup previously called Webrix. Its platform acts as a central gateway between employees' AI tools and agents, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or custom builds, and the internal systems they reach.
It integrates with identity providers like Okta and Entra, assigns each agent a verifiable identity and grants least-privilege access at runtime, with audit trails and a kill switch.
It also detects shadow AI usage and MCP servers, and includes an MCP gateway with a large library of prebuilt connectors. Deployment options include SaaS, hybrid and fully self-hosted setups, including air-gapped environments. Wix is a named customer.
The company emerged from stealth in June 2026 with a $7 million seed round led by Hetz Ventures.
