AgentSmyth: Leading Agent Firm Raises $2.5 Million

By Amit Chowdhry • Apr 19, 2024

AgentSmyth, a company co-founded in New York in March 2024 by technologist Pulkit Jaiswal and Wall Street experts Daniel McCooey and Mike Block, announced it has launched AI agents that enhance financial analysis. AgentSmyth raised $2.5 million in seed funding from notable industry experts like Michael Rafferty, CEO of Rafferty Holdings and investor in fintech companies, and Craig Milias, former portfolio manager of Platte River Capital.

The company’s foundation was strengthened by its founders’ expertise in various fields, including buy and sell-side equity trading, venture capital, and applying agent-based LLM methodologies to comprehensive financial data sets. This funding round reflects the financial sector’s confidence in AgentSmyth’s approach to AI-driven financial analysis and decision-making.

AgentSmyth differentiaties itself by creating smart autonomous agents that act as specialized team members, revolutionizing coordination in finance. And this includes macro research, expertise at both the ticker and sector levels, and monitoring of unusual option flow analysis, all while delivering tick-by-tick narratives.

As a provider of end-to-end autonomous agents in finance, AgentSmyth is on track to becoming a global leader in financial analysis. And the company provides its services at competitive rates. Unlimited consultations with agents cost $30 per day and custom services, with agents working with your proprietary data, cost $60 per day.

The company is set to enhance its product offerings with an array of new features this summer, aiming to deepen integration within the operations of our initial clients. AgentSmyth’s strategy includes targeting sales traders first, followed by a focus on asset managers.
