Exclusive: Seltz, a startup rebuilding web search for AI agents, raises $12.5 million in seed funding
Seltz, an AI startup developing a search engine tailored for AI agents, raised $12.5 million in seed funding led by Speedinvest and B Capital. The company argues traditional search engines are unsuitable for AI agents, which require machine-ready information rather than human-optimized snippets. Seltz's founder, Antonio Mallia, highlights the shift as comparable to Google's PageRank disruption in the early 2000s.
