Singulr Named a CRN® 2026 Stellar Startup in AI

Recognition underscores growing demand for a comprehensive platform addressing the full AI governance lifecycle, from shadow AI discovery and intake to runtime enforcement and spend intelligence, as Singulr plans channel expansion

PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Singulr AI, the enterprise AI and agentic control plane company, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Singulr to its 2026 Stellar Startups list as it plans a significant expansion of its channel presence. The annual list recognizes emerging technology vendors driving innovation and creating new opportunities for IT solution providers.

Recognized in the Stellar Startups AI category, Singulr helps enterprises close the gap between AI intent and runtime reality. As autonomous agents evolve and drift from their original purpose, organizations need continuous control and proof that they are keeping approved AI operating safely, at scale. Singulr does not add another vertical tool. It runs as a horizontal control plane across every AI system, agent, and endpoint, tying together the security and governance investments enterprises already have.

The Singulr Unified AI Control Plane brings discovery, intake, onboarding, and pre- and post-deployment security together in one platform, providing continuous, automated governance, risk visibility, and spend intelligence across the AI lifecycle. At its core is Singulr Pulse™, an AI risk intelligence engine that continuously identifies and assesses AI tools, models, agents, and their associated risks, helping organizations make informed approval decisions, enforce policy at runtime, and measure whether those controls are actually working.

For autonomous AI agents, Singulr goes further, mapping their connections to enterprise systems and tracking permissions, configurations, and behavior in real time. Through agentic behavior anomaly detection and prevention, Singulr identifies and stops risky activity, including "runaway agents" operating beyond their intended scope, while detecting unauthorized changes and emerging threats before they escalate. By enforcing boundaries before sensitive data is exposed, Singulr provides longitudinal, independent proof that guardrails and controls operated as intended.

That proof changes how businesses adopt AI. Teams can approve new AI tools and agents with confidence instead of starting from scratch each time. Security teams stop absorbing every preventable AI incident and can focus on real adversarial risk. Compliance teams get continuous evidence for frameworks such as the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF. Boards get a clear answer to the question they keep asking: is our AI under control?

“With Singulr, channel partners have a clear opportunity to lead customers’ AI adoption strategies and build recurring revenue around governance and security services,” said Shiv Agarwal, CEO and Co-founder, Singulr. “Because Singulr sits across customers’ existing security investments, it gives partners a way to expand those relationships and address new AI risks without requiring a rip and replace. Our unified platform also gives partners a broader offering spanning AI discovery, onboarding, cost insights and runtime controls. Today, Singulr is a trusted brand across Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies in multiple industry verticals. We are proud that CRN recognized this value as we commit significant resources to expanding and strengthening our channel program."
