Baselayer raised USD 35 million in a funding round led by M13 as the company looks to build what it describes as a ‘trust layer’ for artificial intelligence agents. The funding comes as businesses increasingly deploy AI systems that can act on their behalf and make decisions across critical workflows.
The latest capital will support Baselayer’s efforts to build infrastructure that helps AI agents access trusted business information and operate more reliably. The company’s platform brings together business identity, risk, and other intelligence that AI systems can use.
Baselayer says this information can help agents make decisions while reducing the risk associated with acting on incomplete or unreliable data. Its broader focus is enabling AI agents to work across business processes where accuracy and trust matter.
As AI agents move beyond answering questions to taking actions, questions around identity, accountability, and reliability are becoming more important.
Baselayer’s approach gives agents access to verified business context before they act. Its platform can provide information including business identity, people and ownership, digital presence, and fraud, legal, credit, and compliance risk signals.
The startup has also introduced its Model Context Protocol (MCP), which gives AI agents direct access to Baselayer’s business identity and risk intelligence. The system is intended to provide agents with evidence-backed context for their decisions.
Baselayer says its technology is designed for workflows across compliance, procurement, finance, risk and sales. These are areas where businesses are increasingly exploring agentic AI while still needing controls around reliability and accountability.
The company says customers can use its intelligence to verify businesses and associated people, conduct due diligence, monitor risk changes, and improve supplier evaluation.
The funding also comes as AI agents become more prominent in enterprise technology. Unlike traditional software, they can act with greater autonomy, creating a need for systems that can establish who an agent represents and what information it can rely on.
Baselayer’s latest funding aims to address that infrastructure gap and support the development of technology for the emerging agentic economy.
