Modern Relay Raises $3 Million to Build Infrastructure Layer for Enterprise AI Agents
Modern Relay, an artificial intelligence infrastructure startup focused on helping enterprises coordinate AI agents, has raised $3 million in funding to develop its platform for managing organizational context, data, and workflows in an increasingly agent-driven software environment. The company is building what it describes as a shared foundation layer that allows humans and AI agents to work from the same organizational knowledge base while maintaining control over how information changes across systems.
The funding round was led by Point Nine, with participation from Emerge, Amino Collective, and Common Magic. The round also included investments from angel investors including Charlie Songhurst, Michael Boehler, and Thomas Clozel.
Founded by Ragnor Comerford and Aaron Goh, Modern Relay is developing infrastructure designed for companies deploying multiple AI agents across business operations. The company believes that as organizations adopt more autonomous AI systems, they will need new technology layers capable of connecting information, coordinating decisions, and maintaining shared context between people and software agents.
Modern Relay’s platform addresses a growing challenge for enterprises: organizational knowledge is often distributed across documents, communication tools, databases, and internal systems. As companies begin using AI agents for research, coding, operations, and decision-making, these systems require access to reliable and structured context. Modern Relay aims to provide that foundation by creating infrastructure that allows agents to understand organizational information and collaborate more effectively.
The company’s technology includes a context graph designed to unify organizational knowledge and help AI agents coordinate work. Modern Relay has also introduced Omnigraph, an open-source graph database designed for environments where AI agents operate alongside human teams. The company describes Omnigraph as a Git-style graph database built for a world where agents are active participants in workflows.
The newly raised capital will be used to advance Modern Relay’s product development and continue building infrastructure for enterprise AI adoption. The company plans to strengthen its technology for connecting people, data, policies, and decisions while supporting organizations that are integrating AI agents into their operations.
Investor interest in Modern Relay reflects a broader shift toward AI infrastructure companies focused on enterprise applications. As businesses move beyond experimenting with individual AI tools and begin deploying multiple AI systems across departments, startups are increasingly focused on solving challenges around coordination, governance, and information access.
Point Nine, which led the round, is a European venture capital firm known for investing in software, marketplaces, and technology companies. Its investment in Modern Relay highlights growing attention toward companies building foundational technology for the next generation of enterprise software.
Participation from Emerge, Amino Collective, and Common Magic adds additional support from investors focused on early-stage technology companies. Their backing comes as companies across industries explore ways to use AI agents while maintaining security, privacy, and operational control.
The involvement of angel investors such as Charlie Songhurst, Michael Boehler, and Thomas Clozel also brings experience from technology, healthcare, and startup ecosystems. Songhurst has invested in and advised technology companies, Boehler has held executive roles in technology and life sciences organizations, and Clozel is known as the co-founder of AI-driven healthcare company Owkin.
Modern Relay’s emergence comes as enterprises increasingly explore AI agents capable of handling more complex tasks. While early AI adoption focused largely on individual assistants and productivity tools, the next phase is expected to involve networks of specialized agents working across organizations. This shift creates demand for infrastructure that can provide shared knowledge, coordination, and governance.
The company is positioning itself as a foundational layer for this emerging AI environment. By creating systems that allow agents to access structured organizational context and collaborate with human teams, Modern Relay aims to address one of the central challenges facing enterprise AI adoption: ensuring that autonomous systems operate with accurate information and appropriate controls.
With its $3 million funding round backed by Point Nine, Emerge, Amino Collective, Common Magic, and other investors, Modern Relay plans to continue developing its AI infrastructure platform and expanding its role in the emerging market for enterprise agent coordination technology.
