>>”>Jerusalem, 23 April, 2026 (TPS-IL) — BAND, a Tel Aviv-based company building an interaction layer for multi-agent AI systems, has emerged from stealth with $17 million in seed funding. The round was led by Sierra Ventures, alongside Israeli venture capital firms Hetz Ventures and Team8.

The startup aims to solve a growing enterprise challenge: enabling autonomous AI agents to communicate, coordinate, and collaborate across different frameworks, clouds, and enterprise systems in real time. As organizations deploy increasing numbers of agents, BAND argues that fragmentation and lack of interoperability threaten adoption at scale.

Its platform provides shared infrastructure, governance controls, and cross-framework connectivity, allowing agents to discover each other, delegate tasks, and operate as unified systems. Early adopters are already using the technology in software development and enterprise automation.
