Trace is a London-based workflow orchestration startup affiliated with Y Combinator's 2025 batch. The company recently secured $3 million in seed funding to address the lack of contextual understanding in AI agents within enterprises. Its system leverages existing enterprise tools (such as Slack and Airtable) to build knowledge graphs, then creates step-by-step workflows for advanced tasks and delegates subtasks to AI agents with precise data or human handlers. Despite competition from emerging enterprise AI agents like Anthropic, Trace remains confident that its "context engineering" approach will become a key infrastructure for AI-first companies.
