AIsa has completed its seed extension round, securing strategic investments from Tether and HIVEN. The round brings the company's total funding to over $9 million, with additional backing from Alibaba, Tribe Capital, Sumitomo Corporation, Draper Associates, and Saison Capital.
The San Francisco-based startup aims to build infrastructure for enterprise AI agents, enabling them to discover, access, and pay for resources globally. According to founder and CEO Jordan Liu, the company's vision is to provide a governed way for agents to transact while giving enterprises control over permissions and spending.
AIsa addresses the challenges of fragmented providers and billing systems by creating a unified network. The Trusted Resource and Transaction Network for Enterprise AI Agents connects enterprise agents to external data, AI search, models, APIs, and industry services, combining governed access with usage metering, billing, and settlement.
Tether, known for its stablecoin issuance, recently reported a net operating profit of $1.5 billion for the second quarter. The company's earnings were driven by interest earned on US Treasury holdings and repurchase agreements.
