About

Skyfire is an AI infrastructure company that provides identity, access, and payment infrastructure purpose-built for AI agents operating across the open internet. The company's Agent Trust Stack consists of three core products: Know Your Agent (KYA), a standardized open identity protocol that gives agents verified identity tokens accepted by the majority of the commercial internet, enabling programmatic access and login capabilities to websites, applications, and agent protocols; Agentic Wallet, a secure wallet that allows agents to enroll user credit cards, manage stablecoins, and collect user mandates for checkout; and Buy for Me, a complete agentic purchase experience that leverages existing referral links for secure checkout on behalf of users. Skyfire partners with major credit card networks including Visa, Mastercard, and Discover, plus USDC for stablecoin payments, and covers more than 60% of the web through infrastructure partners including Akamai, Okta, Auth0, Fastly, Imperva, and others. The platform eliminates 403 errors, captchas, and blocked checkouts that agents typically encounter. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Skyfire has raised $9.5M in Seed funding from investors including Neuberger Berman, Brevan Howard, Intersection Growth Partners, DRW Trading Group, Inception Capital, Arrington Capital, Red Beard Ventures, Sfermion, Circle, FBG Capital, Gemini, Crossbeam, Every Realm, Draper, ARCA, Ripple, a16zcrypto, Coinbase, Evolution Equity Partners, and Incepti.
