The Company
Our client is an early-stage tech startup shaping the next evolution of online commerce.
In a world where AI agents will browse, compare, and purchase on behalf of users, this company is building the infrastructure that will enable merchants to interact seamlessly with these agentic systems.
They transform traditional websites into AI-ready endpoints fully compatible with LLMs, allowing products to be discovered, understood, and purchased directly by autonomous agents.
They are pioneers in what many consider the next trillion-dollar wave of the digital economy: agentic commerce.
The company is already generating revenue and moving quickly into a breakout phase.
The Role
