We are the only platform that transforms every model call, prompt, and agent step into CFO-grade metrics, providing enterprises the financial transparency to identify winning use cases, optimize costs, and prove impact.
Founded by ex-Microsoft leaders with 20+ years of experience each, Pay-i is a seed-stage company backed by five venture capital firms and executive/C-suite angels from Microsoft, Twilio, Zoom, and more.
