In some cases developers have early access to a critical piece of software that ends up disrupting the enterprise software stack. Many open source software projects (e.g., Spark and Kubernetes) have followed this path and Dropbox famously got its start by exposing a file system backed by AWS’ S3 offering. Browser automation tools (e.g., Chromium and Playwright) are undergoing a similar journey due to the capabilities presented by AI. We’re starting to see vertical startups wield and enterprises adopt a novel set of workflow automations centered around the browser as the interface.

Earlier this year Idan, Dor, and Guy founded Anchor. They shared with us their view of both the promise and limitations of the foundational infrastructure that these browser based workflow automations relied on. The infrastructure limitations they identified – efficiency, speed, reliability, and security – were ones that block the graduation of browser agents to core software used broadly by enterprises. Anchor’s team set their sights on bridging these gaps. Over the past year they have built an offering which is up to 80x more token efficient, 15x faster, and can run reliably for 10x as many actions when compared to other solutions.

The team has quickly signed a group of early customers and partners that include Unify, Browser Use, Coinbase, Groq, and Cloudflare. We’re excited to back Anchor as part of their $6M Seed round alongside Blumberg Capital and angels from OpenAI, ServiceNow and SentinelOne. We encourage you to try out the product.
