AI startup secures funding to scale experiential agent platforms
Composio, a San Francisco-based AI infrastructure startup, has raised US $25 million in a Series A funding round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, including contributions from Lightspeed Asia, SV Angel, and several prominent angel investors. The company aims to build robust infrastructure that powers experiential AI agents, a next-generation technology enabling agents to learn from real-world execution rather than just large language models.
The capital will accelerate Composio’s expansion and deepen its impact across the growing global ecosystem of agent-based AI solutions, including in the Asia-Pacific region.
Building intelligent agent infrastructure
Founded by Soham Ganatra and Karan Vaidya, Composio was established to address a major gap in the agent development ecosystem—integration infrastructure. While many startups focus on building smart agents, few provide the tools necessary to run them safely, scalably, and efficiently in real-world conditions.
Composio enables developers to build AI agents that can authenticate, orchestrate, and execute actions across thousands of SaaS applications. Their plug-and-play integration engine simplifies cloud connectivity, while secure token management removes the need for manual API handling.
The company already works with more than 200 AI teams, including enterprise partners like Glean, helping them speed up deployment and reliability for task-based agents.
Asia-aligned investment and expansion
The latest funding round saw significant participation from Lightspeed Asia Partners, signaling the firm’s intent to grow its presence beyond the U.S. into key Asian innovation markets. As a result, Composio is now preparing to set up support infrastructure and go-to-market partnerships in Southeast Asia and India.
Moreover, this investment arrives at a time when agentic AI is gaining traction among Asia-based startups and developer communities. The region is emerging as a prime testing ground for AI agents in logistics, finance, and customer service—sectors where API-rich ecosystems and multilingual capabilities are essential.
By focusing on experiential AI agents, Composio aims to offer agent platforms that go beyond chat-based automation, enabling intelligent behavior through reinforcement learning and observational feedback.
Bridging AI theory and execution
While open-source libraries like OpenAI’s Agent SDK or LangChain have popularized the idea of autonomous agents, most AI teams struggle to get these agents production-ready. This is where Composio has carved out a niche.
Instead of building the agent “brains,” the company focuses on the infrastructure layer—the messy but essential backend that allows AI agents to securely interact with tools like Salesforce, Slack, Jira, and beyond. In doing so, Composio has solved a major bottleneck: how to allow agents to act securely and reliably on a user’s behalf.
Moreover, the platform supports agent experiences where workflows evolve based on task success rates, creating agents that learn not just from training data but from direct engagement with users and software.
Agent economy and Asia-Pacific integration
With the Series A funding secured, Composio is now prioritizing platform upgrades, support center launches, and region-specific integrations. In the near term, the firm aims to enhance its SDKs for languages and platforms popular across Asia, such as JavaScript, Python, and TypeScript.
It also plans to introduce pre-built templates for sectors like e-commerce, finance, and SaaS support—areas where Asia-based companies are investing heavily in AI-led transformation.
Longer term, Composio is well-positioned to lead in the agent-as-a-service economy, especially as Asia accelerates investments in developer tooling, low-code systems, and AI-native infrastructure. With growing demand for automation that adapts in real-time, experiential agents could become a default layer in how software is built and used.
Infrastructure for the next generation of AI
Composio’s $25 million raise highlights how AI infrastructure is becoming just as important as foundation models themselves. By focusing on the backend needs of intelligent agents, the startup has put itself at the forefront of a transformative shift in software architecture.
Backed by Asia-aligned venture capital and proven developer traction, Composio is now poised to shape how experiential AI agents evolve—and how they power applications in the world’s fastest-growing digital markets.
