The company reached six-figure revenue within weeks of launch and raised a $20M Series A led by GV in May 2025.

Rich Waldron is the Co-founder and CEO of Tray.ai, a San Francisco-based enterprise AI automation and integration platform. He co-founded the company in 2012 out of the UK alongside Alistair Russell and Dominic Lewis, famously surviving 3.5 years without salary by running a web agency, publishing a magazine, and selling shoes on eBay. Under his leadership, Tray.ai has raised $149.1M in funding (most recently a $40M Series C extension in 2022), earned Gartner Visionary recognition in 2024 and 2025, and evolved from an iPaaS provider into an AI-ready enterprise orchestration platform championing the concept of the 'Autonomous Enterprise.'
