Ilan Zerbib (Sapiom) announces Series A for the agent economy
Sapiom's Ilan Zerbib announces a new round of roughly $45 million, following a $15 million Axel-led seed in February, to build infrastructure that lets AI agents operate autonomously in the machine economy. He explains why today's internet is designed to block agents, how Sapiom provides governance, authorization and audit trails, and how its router cuts inference costs 60–90%, citing Patrick Collison's view that most internet transactions will be agent-driven, with mass enterprise adoption 9–12 months out and full economic impact two to five years away.
