I am thrilled to share Madrona’s investment in Nekuda, payment rails for AI Agents, together with our friends at Amex Ventures, Visa Ventures, and wildly helpful angels like Paul Klein, Shyamal Anandkat, and Sahar Mor.
Great move by you and Madrona on seeing the implications of the broader agent stack and investing in “big opportunities” that need to get solved for. Like how you in essence frame as more about “trust transactions” in agent world versus “secure transactions” in e-commerce world.
Thanks so much Doug. There is no question that in the more probabilistic world of agents, capital-T Trust becomes more important than ever to the GDP of the internet.
