You're building an AI-native product. Soon (probably sooner than you think), you'll need fine-grained authorization: who can see what, which agent can do what, and how that changes as you scale. Most teams write this logic themselves. Then they rewrite it. Then they regret it.
AuthZed Cloud is a managed permissions system inspired by Google Zanzibar and built by the team behind SpiceDB, the open-source permissions database with 6,000+ GitHub stars. It handles the hard parts of authorization so your team can stay focused on the product. It's the same foundation teams like OpenAI and Zoom rely on at scale.
Today, we're making it dramatically easier for YC startups to build on that foundation.
The offer
50% off AuthZed Cloud for two years.
- 50% off AuthZed Cloud's usage-based billing for a full two years
- Full access during your trial, with no feature gating
- A complimentary schema design consultation with our authorization experts to help you model permissions right the first time
AuthZed Cloud is pay-as-you-go with no up-front commitment, and you won't be charged until you create a Permissions System. The discount simply means that when you do scale, you scale at half the cost.
