Alpic has raised $6 million in pre-seed funding to build the first cloud platform designed specifically for AI agents. The round was led by Partech and included support from K5 Global, Irregular Expression, Yellow, Drysdale, Kima Ventures, Galion.exe, and experienced founders from companies like Mistral, Datadog, and Dataiku. This funding will enable Alpic to advance development and bring its platform out of private testing and into a public beta.
Traditional websites and software interfaces are built for people, not for automated agents that book flights, update customer records, or carry out business processes. Relying on screen scrapers, fragile plugins, or workarounds slows down development and can break as websites change. The Model Context Protocol, which major AI providers have now adopted, defines a secure way for AI agents to interact directly with online services. Instead of teaching an agent to click buttons on a web page, developers can give it a structured API endpoint that behaves predictably and safely.
Alpic’s platform takes the Model Context Protocol a step further by offering a fully managed service. Developers can spin up a new MCP server in minutes without worrying about infrastructure setup. The platform handles security permissions, usage analytics, and ongoing maintenance, so engineering teams can focus on building features instead of managing servers. Early users in this summer’s pilot successfully deployed dozens of servers to connect their own applications to AI agents.
The company’s recent public beta opens that same capability to any team building AI-powered services. By signing up at the Alpic website, developers gain immediate access to an interface for defining, deploying, and monitoring MCP-compliant APIs. This streamlined workflow eliminates complexity and risk, enabling agents to become first-class citizens of the internet more quickly.
As the AI landscape shifts from human-centric tools to autonomous agents that act on our behalf, a solid infrastructure foundation becomes essential. Alpic’s cloud platform answers that need by combining industry-standard protocols, turnkey deployment, and enterprise-grade controls. The company plans to utilize its new funding to expand its engineering team, incorporate advanced monitoring and security features, and support a growing community of developers building the next generation of agent-powered applications.
The founders of Alpic are Pierre-Louis Theron, Charles Sonigo, Nikolay Rodionov, Erica Beavers, and Frédéric Barthelet. Some of the members of the founding team previously built and sold video delivery company Streamroot.
