Pre-Seed

Agentic infrastructure for every team

AI is shifting from single models to distributed agent fleets. Rhelm is the infrastructure layer that deploys, routes, validates, and scales them. We're raising our pre-seed round now.

The Opportunity

Every company will run AI agent fleets. The infrastructure layer that manages them doesn't exist yet.

$47B

AI agent market by 2030

The market for autonomous AI agents is growing at 45% CAGR. Every enterprise will need orchestration infrastructure.

3 tools

Replaced by one platform

Teams currently stitch together a PM tool, an agent framework, and an observability layer. Rhelm unifies all three.

80%

Cost reduction vs. alternatives

Intelligent model routing pushes tasks to the cheapest capable model. Teams save 49-80% on their AI stack.

Why Now

AI is going multi-agent

The industry is moving from single-model chatbots to multi-agent architectures. OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are all shipping agent APIs. Someone needs to manage the fleets those APIs create.

Models are getting smaller and cheaper

Every quarter, smaller models match last quarter's flagship performance. This makes distributed agent architectures more viable and more cost-effective. The orchestration layer captures that value.

No incumbent owns this layer

PM tools don't execute. Agent frameworks don't manage. Observability tools don't orchestrate. The unified infrastructure layer is greenfield. Rhelm is building it.

What We're Building

Rhelm

The Control Plane

The management layer for agent fleets. Define objectives, deploy agents, validate outputs, track cost. Full visibility into every agent, every task, every dollar.

Pilotr

The Runtime

The execution runtime that agents operate through. Computer use, browser automation, API calls, file operations. Rhelm decides what to do. Pilotr does it.

Ex-Amazon

Former software engineer at Amazon, where he built and scaled distributed systems serving millions of users. He saw the same architectural pattern emerging in AI: complex work needs to be decomposed, routed, and validated across many workers. Rhelm applies distributed systems principles to AI agent orchestration.

Let's talk

We're raising our pre-seed to build the infrastructure layer for distributed AI agents. If that's the kind of bet you make, we should connect.
