Invest · Pre-seed round
Back the trust layer for AI agents.
AI agents now read our email, hold our API keys and act on our behalf. Goldcote builds MoltenRock, the local layer that decides what they can touch, and the open intents.md network they can act on. We're raising a pre-seed round on a SAFE.

Why now
Agents act now
AI agents have moved from answering to acting: they read inboxes, call paid APIs and run on people’s own machines, all day.
Secrets are still in plain text
Most agent setups still keep API keys and passwords in plain-text config files. One leak exposes everything they can reach.
Nobody owns the local trust layer
Password managers protect people and cloud vaults protect servers. Nothing was built for the agent on your Mac. MoltenRock is.
The opportunity
Protecting secrets is already a multi-billion-dollar market. The incumbents were built for people and servers, not for AI agents running on a laptop. That's the slice MoltenRock is built to take.
Already live, not a roadmap
Built and shipped by a lean team, bootstrapped.

intents.md and its network
An open Markdown protocol any AI agent can read: what someone wants, needs or offers, at a URL. 10 live products run on it today, from the reference directory to answer engines like pickthehotel.
The team
Goldcote Ltd, founded 2015. Registered in the British Virgin Islands, with a representative office in Zurich, Switzerland.
Sylvain Gordon-Horwood
Founder & CEO
A Swiss-based founder with a background in enterprise software engineering and institutional finance, and brand launches behind him including PURU, Pureternia and Lake Safe.
He's building Goldcote as a one-founder-plus-AI company: a bench of specialist contractors, and AI agents doing the rest. The goal is a billion-dollar company built that way.
The round
Pre-seed, on a SAFE.
The round size, terms and use of funds are in the deck, which we share with qualified investors on request. Sylvain replies personally within 24 hours.
