It’s been just over a year since we introduced @untappedvc to the world, and wow what a year it’s been! Time for an update thread! 🎶 📈Stats (sourcing, mtngs, diversity) 🚀Portfolio 💪Wins 😵‍💫Challenges Let’s go!!👇

Excited to announce @PaymanAI has raised a $3M pre-seed to pioneer AI to Human Payments! 🤖 🧑🏽 We’re proud to be backed by @Visa, @cbventures, @BoostVC, @deepwatermgmt, @SpartanGroup, @UntappedVC, @TheoryForgeVC and other awesome investors! With Payman, AI can pay humans to help them complete tasks like marketing ones shown in the video. Our Vision We believe AI and Humans will always work together. Giving AI the capability to work with humans involves giving them access to capital, and access to humans. Payman’s platform makes it easy for AI to pay humans for what it needs. This includes information, tasks that need to be completed, and so much more. We believe a key reason that AI Agents have struggled is because they aren’t able to ask for help from humans and incentivize them to help out. Building out the AI-Human payments infrastructure solves this and it’s why we’re so excited about what we’re building. Today 100% of the global economy is human to human payments. AI will start to eat a big chunk of that and Payman will be the rails by which it does so. How it’s going Since announcing Payman a couple of months ago we have 15,000 people on the waitlist ready to use the product. In the meantime we’ve hired a stellar team to build out the production version of the product and have started onboarding Developers and Human’s to the platform this week. If you’re a developer and you'd like to get access, check out our website paymanai.com/forms/contact-e… and sign up for early access. Additional Rockstar Investors In addition to the above investors we’re also proud to be backed by @protofundvc, Systemic Ventures, @MetropolisDAO, and our awesome angel investors, Paris 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist @ViktorAxelsen, @devinawalsh, @nkennethk, @eek637, and many more!
