About Tetrate

We Are on a Mission to Transform Application and Agentic Networking for the Dynamic, Multi-Cloud Era

Our Approach

As generative AI reshapes how organizations build, operate, and compete, we believe AI adoption must be met with a new kind of operational discipline — one that empowers developers while safeguarding the business.

We achieve this through two complementary offerings. Tetrate Agent Router Service helps developers route queries to the best available models based on cost, performance, and policy — removing infrastructure complexity and enabling intelligent fallback and optimization. Tetrate Agent Operations Director provides centralized governance and visibility across teams and providers, ensuring usage aligns with organizational budgets, policies, and compliance standards.

Our solutions are built on the open‑source foundations of Envoy and Envoy AI Gateway, technologies we help lead and maintain. We work closely with regulatory and industry bodies like NIST and FINOS to ensure our platform aligns with evolving AI governance frameworks. With Tetrate, enterprises gain not just the tools to scale AI adoption — but the confidence to do so responsibly, with measurable ROI and full control.

Founders Tetrate

Who We Are

Tetrate was founded by engineers who helped build and scale the modern service mesh stack — technologists who understand firsthand what it takes to operate secure, high‑performance infrastructure in mission‑critical environments. We've worked alongside some of the world’s most demanding organizations in finance, government, and global tech to help them modernize safely and with confidence. That same team is now focused on solving the next frontier: governing AI in production without slowing teams down.

Our customers trust us because we speak their language. We’re builders, operators, and collaborators who understand the realities of enterprise adoption: silos, legacy complexity, budget constraints, and compliance pressure. Whether you're just beginning your AI journey or looking to standardize and scale, we offer not just the tools, but the partnership, experience, and support to guide your transformation. At Tetrate, we're not just shaping infrastructure — we’re helping shape how the enterprise responsibly adopts AI for the decade ahead.

Core Values

We at Tetrate believe culture is a set of repeated set behavior by a large number of people over a long period of time that aligns with core values. Culture we believe will evolve over time adapting to business needs without compromising the core values.

Open Ethos

Free, open, worldwide collaboration is the font of innovation. Open source is about community, code, and commitment to excellence. We value our people, who join us from many paths and places, whose collaborations dissolve boundaries of role, culture and time zone. We are all continuous learners who solve hard customer problems by combining the best ideas and the best of open source.

Authenticity

We bring life and spirit to our work and share the awesome things we encounter in our field. We foster an environment of debate and discourse where no one is afraid to contribute. We speak candidly about mistakes; we expect them to happen and see them as opportunities to learn.

Empathy

We set personal ego aside to be in service of what's best for the company, our products or our clients. We look out for teammates and celebrate each other's successes. Best processes and products follow naturally from addressing the needs of others.

Efficiency

We favor efficient processes, elegant solutions, and necessity-based execution. We recognize and maximize the resources we have. We act and iterate quickly, supporting a culture of prompt action.
