Archipelo
San Francisco, US · 3 known investors
Archipelo builds a system of record for software production, capturing execution attribution — who or what (human developers, AI copilots, or agents) made each change and on what authority — to support security and governance. It serves software teams needing to verify, govern, and audit how their software is produced.

Company profile
researched Aug 2026Archipelo operates a Developer Security Posture Management (DevSPM) platform that establishes execution provenance across software production activity carried out by human developers, AI copilots, and autonomous agents. The company's stated premise is that code is now produced by multiple actors across distributed systems, while the resulting artifact does not preserve how it was produced or who is responsible; traditional security tooling analyzes code, artifacts, and runtime environments but does not identify the developers and agents that produced them.
The platform is built on Salmon, described as an execution provenance protocol that records and verifies events of software production, including code changes, AI interactions, agent actions, and pipeline executions, producing a canonical record from which responsibility is derived rather than reconstructed from logs or telemetry. On top of this data foundation, the DevSPM layer supplies security, policy, and governance functions. Named capabilities include Developer Vulnerability Attribution (attributing CVE scan results to the human, copilot, or agent that introduced them), an AI & Agent Actions Monitor, Developer Security Posture, and an automated Developer Tool Inventory covering CI/CD and developer tooling across connected repositories and developer environments.
The described workflow has four stages: connect (integrating with source control, CI/CD pipelines, AI copilots, and agent frameworks to capture execution events), record (creating a deterministic record of events linked to the acting developer or agent), attribute (associating actions and findings with the responsible actor), and govern (applying security policies and governance controls across actor types).
Business model
Archipelo sells its platform to organizations, with the website routing prospective customers through a "Request a Demo" / "Book demo" motion rather than self-service sign-up.

Market position
Archipelo positions itself in and around the category it labels Developer Security Posture Management, contrasting its deterministic actor-level attribution with traditional security tools that analyze code, artifacts, and runtime environments.
The company frames its distinguishing element as a shift from inference to deterministic attribution: rather than analyzing code or runtime artifacts, it maintains a recorded, verified execution history linking each action to the specific human developer, AI copilot, or autonomous agent responsible, supporting debugging across agents and frameworks, incident response and triage, policy enforcement, and audit and investigation requirements.
Technology
Salmon, an execution provenance protocol that deterministically records and verifies software production events — code changes, AI copilot interactions, agent actions, and CI/CD pipeline executions — creating a canonical, verifiable execution history used for deterministic attribution instead of inference from logs or telemetry. Integrations span source control, CI/CD pipelines, AI copilots, and agent frameworks.
