The AI back office for crypto-native startups.

Six AI agents covering Treasury, Capital, IR, Books, AP, and AR. On-chain-first. Agent-driven. Non-custodial. The wallet is the books — and the agents do the work.

The bet

The next generation of high-value startups will be at least partially on-chain.

Token component, stablecoin treasury, global team paid in USDC, on-chain investors. Capital.xyz serves the prior generation — Delaware C-corps with Mercury accounts and dollar-denominated cap tables. They're not going to retrofit chain-native primitives because their customer doesn't want it. We're building for the cohort they're not serving.

The unlock

Why agents change the math

The agent layer removes the "but we're too small for a CFO" problem. A two-person startup with a token can run their entire money / equity / legal operation through agents that cost ~$500/mo — instead of hiring a fractional CFO + a lawyer + a fund admin.

The cohort

Crypto-native startups, year 1-3

  • Has a token (issued or about to be) + an equity layer
  • Treasury is part-stablecoin, part-fiat, part-yield
  • Pays a global team in USDC, raises from on-chain investors
  • Too small to staff a CFO + lawyer + fund admin separately

The wedge

Your wallet is already the back office.
What's missing isn't another dashboard. It's the team that runs it.

The category

Cap-table & back-office SaaS

e.g. capital.xyz · Carta · Pulley

  • Fiat-first ledgers
  • Dashboards + buttons
  • Manual workflows
  • Cap table for equity only
  • Off-chain vesting trackers

What we ship

Softmax

On-chain-first · agent-driven · non-custodial

  • Wallet IS the books
  • Agents draft → human approves → Safe Module executes
  • Policy enforced on-chain
  • Cap table for equity AND tokens
  • Native on-chain vesting deployment

Why now

Three curves crossed in 2025-26.

01

Crypto-native cos hit Series-A scale

Foundations + protocols + DePIN networks now manage 7-9 figures of treasury without a finance team. The pain is real and the budget exists.

02

On-chain rails matured

Safe Modules + Bridge.xyz + Resend Inbound + Coingecko + Across mean every primitive an AI back office needs is composable, audited, and cheap.

03

AI agents stopped being toys

Claude Sonnet 4.6 + Llama 4 + GPT-OSS run reliable structured-output workflows for under a dollar. The agent-coworker pattern stopped being a demo and became infrastructure.

The team

Six AI agents. Two tiers.

Foundation agents do the bookkeeping that everyone has — but ours feeds the headline agents. Headline agents do things only crypto-native autonomy enables.

Headline tier · the differentiation

Treasury

Multi-chain reconciliation, Safe-Module-driven yield deployment, stablecoin rebalancing, runway alerts. You set the policy; the module executes.

Capital

Cap table for equity AND tokens, SAFT/SAFE drafting, on-chain vesting contract deployment that mirrors legal terms. Carta can't do on-chain vesting; we do.

IR

Monthly investor updates from real numbers, board pack assembly, runway/burn reports, fundraising pipeline + data-room curation, term-sheet status tracking.

Foundation tier · the substrate

Books

On-chain ↔ off-chain reconciliation, Xero/QBO sync, monthly close packet. Bridges DeFi positions, cross-chain transfers, vesting events natively.

AP (Bills)

Inbox-as-source-of-truth for bills. Counterparty awareness, sanctions screening, payment proposals signed from your wallet.

AR (Invoices)

Invoice generation, stablecoin checkout via Bridge.xyz, payment reconciliation back to Books.

Compliance Officer + Tax Accountant ship in v1.5. Treasury Risk, Fundraising Ops, Procurement, DAO Ops join the catalog as design partners ask. Every agent is a named hire — admins build the team via a hire flow, not a feature toggle.

Build vs buy

A generic agent stack gives you the prompt loop.
Three things it can't do for crypto-native finance.

Claude, Paperclip, OpenAI Assistants — they all wire models to tools and let you hand-roll the workflow. That's the easy 5%. The other 95% is the on-chain plumbing, the non-custodial signing pipeline, and a back-office team that talks to itself.

Layer 01

Non-custodial on-chain signing

Embedded wallet + Safe Module + ExecutionSuccess / Failure event parsing wired into an action ledger. Generic orchestrators call tools; they don't run a propose → human approves → wallet signs → on-chain receipt loop without taking custody. Without this you're either a custodial RIA or you ship buttons that go nowhere.

Layer 02

On-chain truth as a primitive

Multi-chain RPC manager (Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon), USDC reconciliation, vesting event reads, DeFi position parsers, Coingecko pricing, Bridge.xyz fiat rails, sanctions screening. Generic agents read your inbox; ours read your wallet. The integration tax is six engineering months — and stays a maintenance burden forever.

Layer 03

Six agents that talk to each other

One heartbeat orchestrator, run-id mutation discipline, wakeup queue with coalescing, persistent per-agent state, cross-agent commentary (AP confirms a Helios bill needs EUR; Treasury proposes a USDC → EURC bridge in the same heartbeat). Off-the-shelf orchestrators run one agent per query. We run a back office.

The moat

Three compounding layers. The longer customers use us, the harder we are to replace.

Layer 01

On-chain truth as substrate

The wallet IS the books. Multi-chain treasury, token-grant vesting, on-chain SAFTs are native primitives, not translated objects. Fiat-first competitors fundamentally can't do this well even with AI bolted on — they'd need to rebuild their data layer.

Layer 02

Agent-first workflow as UX

Every back-office function is a named agent that drafts → human approves → on-chain execution. Different mental model from dashboards-and-buttons. The team metaphor is real — each agent has a job description, scope, and the operator can hire/fire them.

Layer 03

On-chain policy via Safe Module

Treasury rules, comp policy, counterparty policy aren't dashboards — they're smart contracts that enforce themselves. Sign once at policy time; contract executes within bounds; every action auditable. Switching means redeploying every contract. The moat compounds with usage.

What we are not

Boring infrastructure, not a regulated entity.

Not a bank

Bridge.xyz handles fiat banking + virtual cards via their existing partner program. We integrate, not custody.

Not a payment processor

Stablecoin payments via Thirdweb / Coinbase Commerce. Standard integrations.

Not a broker-dealer

Capital agent prepares SAFTs / SAFEs and deploys vesting contracts. Securities transactions happen between customer and investor directly.

Not a custodian

Every action is signed by your wallet (or your pre-authorized Safe Module within rules you set). We hold zero customer assets at all times.

Not an investment manager

We do not exercise discretion. You set the policy; agents draft within it; you (or your Safe Module per your rules) is the deciding actor.

Pricing

SaaS tiers + usage meter.
No AUM fees. No discretion-based take rate.

Per-action and per-seat. Above your tier's included quota, additional agent actions meter at a flat rate. The pricing model is the same shape as Vercel, Supabase, Linear — usage-aware SaaS, not asset-under-management investment-manager pricing.

For investors

Why this is defensible.

Switching cost compounds with usage

Every Safe Module a customer deploys, every counterparty alias the agents learn, every vesting contract Capital ships — those live in the customer's on-chain state. Switching means redeploying contracts. Every quarter we're harder to leave.

The wedge is unique-to-crypto-native

QuickBooks / Carta / Brex can ship AI tomorrow. They cannot ship on-chain vesting deployment, Safe-Module-enforced policy, or wallet-as-the-books reconciliation. The technical moat is real and recent (Safe Modules went mainstream in 2024).

The customer profile is concentrated + budget-rich

Crypto-native startups at Series A+ scale (foundations, DAOs, protocols, DePIN networks) cluster in known geos and accelerators. Distribution is tractable; willingness to pay is high — we replace a $150K/yr controller hire.

The team metaphor scales horizontally

v1 ships six agents. v2 grows the catalog (Compliance, Tax, Treasury Risk, IR-extension agents, etc). Each new agent is a new pricing lever and a new reason to upgrade. The unit economics improve over the customer's lifecycle.

The lighthouse

v2 exposes our agents as MCP-callable services. Customer-side AI agents (the operator's own AI assistants) call our Treasury and Capital agents directly. The propose / approve / sign spine works whether the proposer is a Softmax agent or an external AI signing under policy. We're already building toward it; it's in the schema.
