Artificial intelligence is becoming a fixture in the workplace. Soon, many firms will have agents that don’t just operate within a business—but also interact with agents at other companies. One startup is trying to jump-start that future with software that lets AI agents act on companies’ behalf, working together to sort out payments between businesses.
On Tuesday, Delaware-based Causa Prima announced a $20 million seed round that closed in September to expand its agent-to-agent platform, which resolves billing disputes and speeds up payment times between companies and their suppliers. Cofounded by German entrepreneurs Maex Ament, Henrik Gebbing, and Philip Stanislaus, the company previously raised $10 million in a pre-seed round, bringing its total funding to $30 million.
