# Golf

> Golf is a Y Combinator (X25) startup building the security and governance layer for AI agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It began as GolfMCP, an open-source Python framework for shipping production MCP servers without boilerplate, and grew into an enterprise control plane that discovers every AI agent and MCP connection in an organization (including shadow AI), enforces granular policies with sub-millisecond latency, and maintains compliance-ready audit trails. Founded by high-school friends Wojciech Blaszak and Antoni Gmitruk, who both dropped out of university to build it full-time.

- **Founded:** 2025
- **Headquarters:** San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founders:** Wojciech Blaszak (Co-founder & CEO), Antoni Gmitruk (Co-founder & CTO)
- **Team size:** ~9
- **Products:** GolfMCP, Golf Gateway / Control Plane, Golf Firewall, Discover / Enforce / Audit
- **Notable:** Accepted into Y Combinator Spring 2025 (X25) batch., Launched GolfMCP, an open-source production MCP server framework, on YC Launch., Reduced MCP server production deployment from 2-4 weeks to under 60 seconds.

## Products & services

- **GolfMCP** — Open-source, file-based Python framework for building production MCP servers. Define tools, prompts, and resources as simple files while Golf handles routing, auth, telemetry, error reporting, and deployment. No decorators, no spec knowledge, no boilerplate.
- **Golf Gateway / Control Plane** — Hosted platform to deploy and monitor MCP servers in real time, reducing production deployment from 2-4 weeks to under 60 seconds.
- **Golf Firewall** — Enterprise security layer for MCP providers that blocks prompt injections, PII leaks, and credential exposure before they reach customer agents, with sub-millisecond per-tool policy enforcement.
- **Discover / Enforce / Audit** — Three-pillar governance platform: discover all agents, MCP servers and data connections (including shadow AI); enforce granular policies per tool/team/data source; audit 90-day trails pre-mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST AI RMF and FINRA.

## Achievements

- Accepted into Y Combinator Spring 2025 (X25) batch.
- Launched GolfMCP, an open-source production MCP server framework, on YC Launch.
- Reduced MCP server production deployment from 2-4 weeks to under 60 seconds.
- SOC 2 Type II certified.
- Live with multiple enterprise companies within its first year.

## Latest updates

- **2025-05** — Launched GolfMCP open-source platform for shipping production MCP servers on YC Launch.
- **2025-05** — Raised YC seed; joined the X25 batch.
- **2026** — Expanded into enterprise firewall and governance control plane for MCP providers, with Discover/Enforce/Audit pillars and SOC 2 Type II certification.
