OUR COMPANY

We're building the trust layer for the public internet.

t-Gates exists because connecting two services without exposing them to the world had become an absurd amount of yak-shaving. It's an independent, self-funded project run from Essen, Germany — small, focused, and built in the open.

OUR THESIS

Public IPs are a tax on every team. Make them unnecessary.

Most production traffic shouldn't touch the open internet at all. The systems that route it do, by accident — and that gap is where breaches, outages, and accidental exposure live. We think the right answer is identity-aware tunnels at the edge, with policy that travels with each request, not each box.

HOW WE WORK

Calm, written, and honest about what's done.

Built deliberately, in the open. Changes are small and reviewed. When something breaks, we write it down and fix it rather than paper over it. No SLA promises while the platform is in open beta — we'd rather under-promise and ship.
