Modiqo raises $3M in pre-seed funding to help AI agents learn by Rote

Agentic artificial intelligence infrastructure startup Modiqo Inc. says it can assist companies in moving from experimental workflows to repeatable and production-ready systems after raising $3 million in pre-seed funding.

Heavybit and Seligman Ventures co-led the round, which also saw participation from Irregular Expressions and a number of angel investors.

The startup is trying to fix the unpredictable nature of AI agents, which tend to be very creative and do some very strange and unique things that don’t always result in the outcome users had hoped for. What’s more, they do this even if they’ve successfully executed the same task the day before.

“Today’s AI agents are impressive in the demo and unreliable in production,” said Heavybit General Partner Joseph Ruscio.
