# Paid

> Paid is a monetization platform for AI agents. Instead of charging by the seat or the API call, it lets agent builders price by the outcome an agent delivers - points of margin saved, tasks completed, revenue generated - then tracks the underlying costs and margins in real time and hands the customer a receipt proving the value. Founded by Outreach creator Manny Medina and a team that previously built billing at Salesforce, Palantir and Pleo, Paid raised $33.3M across a 2025 pre-seed and seed and is building the plumbing for how software gets paid when the software is an autonomous worker.
