Personas

Who it's for

The Regulated-Enterprise Platform Engineer

Lead persona
The pain
Engineering wants to ship agents. Security says no containers. Compliance says no managed sandboxes. The internal answer is to manually review every agent action — which makes agents useless.
What they need
A hardware-isolated execution environment they own, with audit evidence for auditors, that runs in their VPC.

The Mid-Market Compliance-Driven Buyer

Leading indicator
The pain
Same problem, but no platform team big enough to self-host. They want a product, not an infrastructure project.
What they need
A hosted confidential agent runtime with regional residency. The compliance posture without the ops burden.

The Agent Framework Builder

Adopts, doesn't buy
The pain
Needs an execution backend for their framework. Managed SaaS only or AGPL licenses are blockers.
What they need
A well-documented, Apache-licensed sandbox they can wire into LangChain, Mastra, or custom frameworks.

The SaaS Builder Optimizing Unit Cost

High-volume adopter
The pain
Runs millions of short-lived agent tasks. Cares about predictable margins and density.
What they need
The runtime for cost reasons; the control plane for multi-host orchestration. Not a confidential buyer.

The Security Researcher / Threat Modeler

Credibility signal
The pain
Evaluates sandboxes for red-team labs, malware handling, CTF infrastructure.
What they need
A published threat model + attestation chain they can review independently. Their endorsement drives enterprise sales.

Who it's NOT for

  • • Hobbyist on macOS expecting native Firecracker (Linux + KVM only)
  • • Customer wanting a drop-in E2B API replacement (self-hosted first)
  • • Buyer of a fully turnkey AI platform (Enclave is infrastructure)
