We started as Clavata with a simple, urgent conviction: the tools organizations were using to govern AI behavior didn't and couldn't get the job done.

Today we're Moonbounce. The name borrows from the logic behind Project Diana: the moment the US Army Signal Corps decided terrestrial radio wasn't enough and bounced radar signals off the moon. Not a tweak. A completely different approach. That's the spirit we bring to AI control.

Moonbounce is the AI control engine that ensures systems behave exactly as designed at any scale. Our patented technology closes the gap between intention and outcome, converting plain-English policies into consistent, predictable AI behavior, enforced in real time, before content ever reaches a user.

Most approaches to AI governance are reactive: they catch problems after they happen. Moonbounce works upstream. Teams define behavioral standards precisely - not as values in a document, but as executable, testable logic - and enforce them as decisions are being made.

When context shifts, when regulations change, when new risks emerge: policies update in hours, not months. Every decision is traceable. Every outcome is explainable.

Moonbounce processes 25M+ pieces of content daily across 100M+ monthly active users. Our customers include Tinder, Civit.ai, and Dippy. We're backed by Amplify Partners and StepStone Group with $12M in funding.

Built by engineers from Meta and Apple. Based in Oakland, CA.

I spent four years at Meta leading Integrity and watching the world's largest platforms try to close the gap between what their policies said and what their systems actually did.

The gap never closed. Not because the values were wrong. Because policies were never specified precisely enough to be executed consistently at scale.

That observation became a company: Moonbounce (formerly known as Clavata).

Moonbounce is the AI control engine that ensures systems behave exactly as designed at any scale. We convert plain-English policies into real-time, predictable AI behavior so teams can focus on growth instead of firefighting.

We process 40M+ pieces of content daily across 100M+ monthly active users. Our customers include Tinder, Civit.ai, and Dippy. We raised $12M from Amplify Partners and StepStone Group to keep building.
