Arcade Secures $12 Million Investment From Laude Ventures To Enhance AI Agent Infrastructure

Arcade, an AI agent infrastructure startup founded in February 2024 by former Okta exec Alex Salazar and former Redis engineer Sam Partee, has raised $12 million from Laude Ventures, the new fund launched in 2024 by Perplexity co-founder Andy Konwinski. Arcade initially aimed to build a site reliability agent but pivoted to creating a tool-calling platform that helps AI agents securely access apps and data with the same privileges as the workers they assist. The platform integrates with OAuth and manages secure token authentication. This is the first publicly announced investment by Laude, with co-founder and general partner Pete Sonsini expressing confidence in Arcade’s infrastructure focus.
