TechFlow news — Payman AI, an AI-to-human payment platform, has announced the successful completion of a $3 million pre-seed funding round. The round was backed by institutional investors including Visa, Coinbase Ventures, Boost VC, Deepwater Asset Management, Spartan Group, Untapped Capital, Theory Forge VC, Proto Fund, Systemic Ventures, and MetropolisDAO, as well as several angel investors such as Viktor Axelsen, gold medalist at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Payman AI's vision is to build a payment infrastructure for collaboration between AI and humans, enabling AI agents to pay people for completing tasks. The company believes one reason AI agents face limitations is their inability to seek human assistance and provide incentives. The Payman platform aims to solve this issue by allowing AI to easily pay humans for services such as information requests or task fulfillment.
The company has now assembled its core team to develop the official product version and has begun opening access to developers and human users.
