Paygentic nets $2M pre-seed to power payments for AI-native firms

Paygentic, a billing and payments platform designed for AI-native companies, has secured $2 million in pre-seed funding. This investment, led by MiddleGame Ventures, highlights the growing need for specialized financial infrastructure tailored to the unique demands of AI-driven businesses. The platform aims to address the complexities of pricing and billing in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. Paygentic, founded by Susan O’Neill and Samuel Alarco Cantos, offers a comprehensive solution for AI-native firms. It facilitates hybrid pricing models, incorporating subscriptions, usage-based, and outcome-based structures. By converting agent activity data like prompts and usage events into revenue, the platform unifies billing, payments, and pricing within a single, scalable stack. This funding will primarily support team expansion and accelerate product development. Paygentic's focus will be on enhancing its agentic billing capabilities and solidifying its payments infrastructure. The platform's success could pave the way for more flexible and efficient payment systems, especially for companies dealing with unpredictable compute costs.
