Seed round led by General Catalyst with Box Group, Emergence, Gradient and SV Angel, announced August 26. Founded by CEO Phillip Li, it recreates enterprise software including Salesforce, Workday and email clients as full digital twins with permission systems and webhooks intact, rather than the stateless API endpoints most agent testing uses (TechCrunch). The pitch is correct and specific: you can't run reinforcement learning against production Salesforce because you can't reset it, so agents on business software never got the training infrastructure coding agents got from git and test suites.
