Sapiom Raises $35M Series A for AI Agent Infrastructure
Sapiom, an AI infrastructure company for building and operating autonomous agents, announced a $35 million Series A funding round led by Dragonfly with participation from Accel, Gradient, Coinbase Ventures, Operator Collective, Formus Capital, and VanEck Ventures and continued support from Okta Ventures, Menlo Ventures, Anthropic, and Array Ventures. The round follows a $15 million seed six months earlier and brings total funding to $50 million. Alongside the financing Sapiom launched Sapiom Router, Sapiom Agent Studio, and Sapiom Runtime. The company says it has processed over 270 million transactions and supports more than 100,000 agent runs per day.
A $35M Series A for an AI-agent execution and orchestration platform signals investor interest in agent infrastructure and could accelerate production deployment of agentic AI, but it is not a major platform-level policy or technical change that reshapes the entire AdTech/MarTech industry.

Sycamore Raises $65M Seed for Enterprise AI Agent Platform
Sycamore, an enterprise startup building an orchestration layer for AI agents, announced a $65 million seed round led by Coatue and Lightspeed. The round includes a long list of angel investors such as former OpenAI chief scientist Bob McGrew, Intel CEO Lip‑Bu Tan, and Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi, plus participation from VCs including Abstract Ventures, Dell Technologies Capital, 8VC, Fellows Fund and E14 Fund. Sri Viswanath, a former Coatue investor and ex‑CTO of Atlassian, founded Sycamore and is CEO. Sycamore says it is building a broad “agentic orchestration” platform that handles coding, infrastructure, front ends and data integrations and has early enterprise traction (customers unnamed). The article notes a crowded competitive landscape with startups (Maisa AI, Isara) and large players (OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft Azure, AWS) pursuing enterprise agent offerings.
Naïve raises $28.5M for AI agent infrastructure
Naïve, a startup offering infrastructure that enables AI agents to automate much of the work involved in forming and operating businesses, raised $28.5 million in a Series A led by Nexus Venture Partners. The company says it signed up over 30,000 developer customers and has scaled annual run-rate revenue by 10x to the low double-digit millions in six months. Naïve provides an API and prompts for provisioning payments, email, phone numbers, cloud resources and company incorporation, and is building efficiency-focused infrastructure — including a model router, memory layer, orchestrator, and a serverless runtime for lightweight JavaScript agents — to reduce inference costs. The round included participation from Y Combinator, Zetta, Liquid 2 and several angel investors.
Startup’s AI Agent Ran $100M Fundraise
Lyzr, a three-year-old Jersey City startup that builds AI agents for enterprises, used its own agent, SivaClaw, to lead and manage its $100 million Series B fundraise at an implied roughly $500 million valuation. According to reporting cited by TechCrunch from Bloomberg, the agent handled inquiries from more than 130 investors, drafted investment memos, and tracked investor engagement with slide decks. Lyzr says the effort generated roughly $400 million of investor interest across Silicon Valley, the Middle East and financial-sector backers without founders needing to travel for traditional in-person meetings. The story is presented as evidence of both heavy capital flows into AI and a practical demonstration of agentic AI capabilities in venture processes.
