Tektonic AI
Seattle startup building neuro symbolic generative AI agents for sales and revenue operations, combining foundation models with symbolic rule enforcement to automate quoting, renewals, and data work under human supervision.
Tektonic AI is a Seattle company building generative AI agents for business operations, initially focused on sales and revenue operations. It was co founded by chief executive Nic Surpatanu, who held leadership roles at Microsoft, UiPath, and Tanium, and David Hsu, an engineering leader from Google and Meta, and it was conceived and incubated at Madrona Venture Labs. Tektonic raised ten million dollars in seed funding led by Point72 Ventures and Madrona, and it targets enterprises with more than fifty million dollars in revenue that struggle with slow, manual, multi system work like quoting and renewals.
What distinguishes Tektonic is its neuro symbolic architecture. It combines foundation models, which extract entities and understand a user's intent expressed in natural language, with symbolic artificial intelligence that applies business rules and constraints. The result is agents that both understand what a person wants and adhere to the specific, often dynamic rules of that business, delivering controllable and accurate outputs. This directly addresses the reliability problem that causes fully autonomous agents to compound mistakes when left unsupervised on complex work.
Tektonic takes a deliberately human centered stance. Its chief executive argues that current models are not reliable enough for fully autonomous operation, so employees stay in the loop, providing feedback, making decisions, and supervising, while agents remain constrained by business rules and paired with deterministic software. Agents connect natively to Salesforce and HubSpot and to financial, marketing, email, and Slack systems through application programming interfaces, then autonomously handle quoting, renewals, customer relationship management cleanup, data enrichment, and pipeline work, escalating to humans when a case needs judgment.
Governance is a first principle. Teams retain complete control by defining process specifications, business rules, data access and sources, model selection, deployment locations, and the actions agents may take, and agents will not use data beyond the scope of the business. Tektonic is SOC 2 compliant with user level access controls, currently installs as a container inside a customer's virtual private cloud, and offers a library of prebuilt sales and success agents plus dashboards on agent performance. Its main gaps are a first class persistent memory and general computer use.

Use cases & customers
In practice
A sales rep spends most of their week on back office work. A Tektonic agent assembles an upsell quote by pulling configurations across multiple systems, testing discounts against finance rules, and checking prior contracts, turning days of manual work into minutes.
A revenue team's data is a mess of duplicate and stale records. Tektonic agents enrich and validate customer, supplier, and contact data across connected systems, improving forecast accuracy while enforcing the business rules that govern each field.
A renewal needs handling but has an unusual edge case. The agent, constrained by business rules and deterministic software, completes the routine parts autonomously and escalates the ambiguous decision to a human with full context attached.

Research notes
GenAI agents for business/RevOps operations. Seattle. Founders Nic Surpatanu (CEO, ex-Microsoft/UiPath/Tanium) + David Hsu (ex-Google/Meta). $10M seed (Point72 Ventures + Madrona; incubated at Madrona Venture Labs). Targets $50M+ revenue enterprises. NEURO-SYMBOLIC: foundation models (entity extraction/intent) + symbolic AI (business-rule application) + open models (lower-level actions). RevOps focus: quoting, renewals, CRM cleanup, data quality/enrichment, pipeline forecasting, lead-qual, outreach, account mgmt, customer self-service. HITL=F (standout): symbolic AI ENFORCES business rules at runtime ('constrained by business rules, paired with deterministic software', 'apply/adhere to business rules', 'operate within boundaries', 'will not use data beyond scope') + supervision (employees provide feedback/decisions/supervise) + escalate-to-human. CEO: current models NOT reliable for fully-autonomous — humans stay in loop; targets 50%→80% automation. Orch=F (autonomous multi-step RevOps: quoting/renewals/enrichment across systems). Governance-forward: teams define process-specs/business-rules/data-access/MODEL-SELECTION/deployment-locations/allowed-actions. Int=P (native Salesforce/HubSpot + financial/marketing/email/Slack via API). Dep=P (installs as CONTAINER in customer's VPC per TechCrunch; future SaaS). Sec=P (SOC 2 compliant + user-level access controls; single cert). Model=P (customer model-selection + foundation+open models). Pack=P (library: outbound/inbound/pipeline/account-mgmt agents). Eval=P (symbolic runtime-validation of outputs + perf-dashboards). 2 N's: Mem=N (context-adapt but no persistent memory; explicitly scope-limits data), Comp=N (API-based, not screen automation). Analytics dashboards (response-rates/meetings/agent-perf). Early-stage (design partners, coming out of stealth 2024). Broad-but-shallow (10 P's). Pricing: official tiered quote-based enterprise (sales_led); a 3rd-party listing claims free-trial+Pro $49.99/mo but that contradicts enterprise-VPC-container + $50M-revenue-target, so NOT surfaced. Domain tektonic.ai. Score 7.0 (2F/10P/2N).
