Sapiom is a startup founded by former Shopify Payments Engineering Director Ilan Zerbib, dedicated to building a financial layer that enables AI agents to autonomously purchase and access software, APIs, data, and computing resources. The company aims to simplify backend infrastructure, such as payment processes for services like Twilio or AWS, which can be challenging for non-programmers using "feel coding" tools. Leading Sapiom's $15 million seed round funding, Accel believes that this enterprise-centric approach is key to enabling AI agent functionality. Although the technology was initially targeted at the B2B market, it is ultimately expected to support personal AI agents for consumer transactions.
