Paradigm raised $5 million in seed funding led by General Catalyst to deploy over 5,000 AI agents across individual spreadsheet cells, each capable of autonomous web crawling to populate enterprise data workflows.

The funding validates a fundamental shift from AI-assisted productivity tools toward AI agent-native infrastructure that embeds autonomous capabilities directly into familiar enterprise interfaces. Rather than adding AI features to existing spreadsheets, Paradigm rebuilt the interface around autonomous agent capabilities from the ground up.
