AI enablement platform Xpander has announced it has raised $7.5 million in a seed funding round led by Pico Venture Partners.
Emerge Ventures, Samsung Next and Seedil also invested in the San Francisco, California-based startup.

The startup also provides its customers with an agentic forward deployed engineer called Omni, which enables the creation of agent teammates for employees, enables teams to create agents, and supports collaborative multi-agent workflows.
Xpander plans to use the seed investment to accelerate market penetration.
