(NEW YORK)–Early-stage capital is beginning to concentrate around narrowly defined AI agent infrastructure, as two emerging startups announced fresh pre-seed funding aimed at automating high-friction operational workflows.
Nomerra secured a $2 million pre-seed round led by 14Peaks Capital to develop specialized background software agents designed for private market environments. The company is focused on embedding persistent AI processes into workflows such as due diligence, investor reporting, and compliance tracking, where manual overhead remains significant across private equity and venture operations.
At the same time, ShopAgentic raised €1.9 million in a pre-seed round co-led by May Ventures and Greenfield Capital. The company is building native agentic commerce systems that autonomously manage product cataloging, dynamic pricing, and fulfillment orchestration. Its platform aims to replace fragmented e-commerce tooling with continuous, agent-driven execution across the transaction lifecycle.
Tom Bustamante, the Founder and CEO of Next Realm AI, noted: “These rounds demonstrate a critical micro-rotation as institutional capital transitions from broad chat interfaces to autonomous, task-scoped agent infrastructure. Deploying domain-specific AI agents directly over legacy enterprise operational systems is exactly where systemic enterprise alpha is being unlocked today.”
The twin raises highlight a growing investor thesis: value in AI is shifting away from generalized interfaces toward embedded systems that directly execute and optimize business processes.
