Toronto’s Kuvi Unveils Seed Round and Acquisition to Power Agentic Finance OS

Earlier this month, Kuvi.ai raised a round of seed capital to fuel the launch of a private beta.

The Toronto-based financial technology startup secured $700k in a round led by Moon Pursuit Capital with participation from crypto angels Michael Terpin of Transform Ventures and Dennis Liu, which doubled the Canadian firm’s valuation from $15 million to $30M.

The funding supported the beta launch of Kuvi.ai’s Agentic Finance Operating System, which the company describes as a “first of its kind next-gen interface that empowers users to design, automate, and deploy complex financial strategies using natural language.”

Kuvi.ai believes its product can replace the need for centralized exchanges, DeFi dashboards, and robo-advisors.

“As blockchain technology progresses, the interplay between intent-centric systems and AI agents will catalyze the next wave of innovation, making Web3 more accessible, efficient, and genuinely decentralized,” the company posits online.

The fintech’s interface is designed to make digital asset transactions as simple as typing a message or saying a few words. And unlike pre-programmed bots or chat wrappers, Kuvi.ai allows users to define financial intent—such as “Buy $1K in memecoins when sentiment spikes and gas is low, exit when BTC dominance rises.”

“Kuvi.ai is building the coordination layer for agentic value transfer,” stated chief executive officer Dylan Dewdney, who cofounded the startup last year alongside Maxim Sindall and CTO Jay Nasr, who says their agentic OS is “a complete rethink of how humans interact with financial systems.”

This week, Kuvi.ai announced a maintaining of momentum with the acquisition of Delaware-based Altura, a Web3 infrastructure platform built to simplify blockchain game development.

Altura built one of the earliest NFT infrastructure stacks for game developers. The acquisition therefore lays the groundwork for the next evolution of in-game asset management, driven by AI agents and automation, according to a statement from Kuvi.

“Altura has everything we look for,” says Dewdney, citing “passionate users, real tech, and a mission that aligns with where we’re going.”

“We’re building the financial OS for the next generation, making it agent-powered, cross-chain, and user-owned,” he explains. “Altura’s NFT infrastructure and dev tooling are a perfect fit for enabling game assets to be managed, automated, and monetized using Kuvi’s agent platform.”

As part of the full acquisition, Kuvi.ai intends “in the near future” to incubate a new consumer-facing app under the Altura brand to help users manage in-game assets through a single interface that is integrated with Kuvi’s agentic finance stack.

The move marks Kuvi’s first foray into the gaming vertical.
