O que Locus faz

We make your agents pay. As agents evolve from tools into dependable, autonomous actors, they’ll need the ability to execute open-ended workflows end-to-end. This inevitably means payments: accessing paywalled data, transacting for services or with other specialist agents. But autonomy requires guardrails. Businesses and developers will need a way to ensure their agents only spend how much and on what they’re supposed to. The machine economy is coming, and Locus (YC F25) is building the connector businesses will need to participate. We connect agents securely to funds, letting you define permissions and limits for every transaction. Each payment is traceable, auditable, and fully reconcilable with your existing financial stack.

Payment infrastructure for AI agents

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a payment platform that lets AI agents transact autonomously but with strict controls. Our product connects agents to funds with permissions and spending limits, so businesses can let their agents pay for data, services, or other agents confidently. Every transaction is traceable and auditable, fitting into existing finance systems.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We don't have a fixed location; we work remotely. After YC, we plan to stay distributed or base ourselves wherever makes sense as the company grows.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are remote because it lets us focus on building quickly and reach talent flexibly. YC can help us decide long term.
