Lyzr raises $8M to build enterprise AI agent networks

Lyzr, an enterprise agentic AI infrastructure company, has raised $8 million in Series A funding led by Rocketship.vc to build its Agentic Operating System for enterprise functions. The platform enables businesses to deploy interconnected AI agent networks across departments like finance, HR, and customer service, targeting highly regulated industries where secure, private AI deployment is critical.

What you should know: Lyzr’s platform goes beyond individual AI agents to orchestrate multi-agent systems that operate within enterprises’ private environments.

• The Agentic Operating System runs on private cloud or on-premise infrastructure, ensuring complete data control and ownership of AI assets.
• The platform is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified, meeting enterprise-grade compliance requirements.
• Unlike traditional automation tools or isolated chatbots, Lyzr’s agents collaborate, share knowledge, and execute workflows autonomously.

Key innovation: The platform features an Agent Simulation Engine that runs over 20,000 pre-deployment simulations per agent to test performance and compliance.

• Built on Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA) principles, the system ensures predictable behavior before agents enter production.
• This approach reduces risk by identifying potential issues during the simulation phase rather than in live environments.

Real-world results: Early enterprise adopters are already seeing measurable improvements in operational efficiency.

• A Fortune 100 technology company deployed more than 200 interconnected agents across its corporate venture capital division to streamline investment sourcing and evaluation.
• A leading semiconductor firm used Lyzr to replace a closed AI platform, significantly reducing development time for its Customer Service OS by leveraging pre-built agent blueprints.

Market focus: The funding will accelerate expansion in highly regulated industries where traditional AI deployment faces significant barriers.

• Banking and insurance sectors use the platform for complex processes like loan origination, claims management, and compliance reporting.
• The company targets enterprises that need secure, explainable AI agents capable of navigating regulatory complexities.

The big picture: Lyzr envisions moving enterprises toward “Organizational General Intelligence” where AI agents form an intelligent network that continuously improves decision-making across all business functions.

• The platform has attracted 30,000 developers and deployed more than one million production agents.
• Over one billion agent simulations have been executed to date, demonstrating significant market traction.

What they’re saying: Industry leaders see agentic operating systems as the next evolution in enterprise AI infrastructure.

• “Just as operating systems defined the computer era, Agentic Operating Systems will define the enterprise AI era,” said Madhu Iyer, Partner at Rocketship.vc.
• “Agentic AI represents the next frontier in financial services firms’ efforts to adopt and scale AI,” noted Kenneth Saldanha, Global Lead, Insurance Industry Practice at Accenture, a global consulting firm.
• “Our goal is to help our clients overcome one of the biggest challenges in agentic AI: moving from experimentation to production and scaling,” explained Siva Surendira, CEO of Lyzr.

Who else is involved: The funding round included participation from GFT Ventures, Accenture Ventures, Firstsource, Plug and Play Tech Center, BGV, Partnership Fund for New York City, and Arka.
