Inside a $19M YC Startup Building AI Agents for Enterprise

In this episode, I go inside StackAI, a YC-backed startup building enterprise AI agents that are actually deployed inside real companies. They’ve raised $19M to tackle one of the biggest problems in AI right now: most of the flashy demos never make it into real workflows. Operating in one of the most competitive spaces in tech, StackAI is building alongside companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, where speed, capital, and distribution are hard to compete with. Rather than just building better models, they’ve focused on a different problem: getting AI to actually work inside real organisations. That means deploying AI into complex, regulated environments, where legacy systems and internal workflows are already in place. From automating compliance workflows to reducing processes from days to seconds, this is what AI adoption actually looks like inside real businesses.
