Optimly, a startup tackling the challenge of how AI agents perceive brands, has closed an $800K pre-seed funding round. The company is building the trust infrastructure for agentic commerce, addressing a critical blind spot for brands: AI models like ChatGPT and Claude often learn about companies from the broader web, not just their official websites. Optimly's Brand Trust Registry provides a verified index of over 60,000 brands that AI agents read from when answering buyer-intent questions, with BrandVault serving as a verification platform for brand owners.
