Cathay Capital has led a financing round for DeepWisdom, the Chinese developer behind the Atoms product, as venture investors continue to back “agentic” AI systems designed to automate larger parts of the work of building and running digital businesses.
The company said the latest funding — which brings the total raised across its Series A and A+ rounds to $31mn — would be used to accelerate research and development in multi-agent systems, support large-scale product deployment and expand internationally.
DeepWisdom has built its profile in part through open-source projects, including multi-agent frameworks that have attracted a large developer following. In a market increasingly crowded with coding assistants and workflow tools, the company is positioning Atoms as something closer to an end-to-end “business team” that can validate an idea, build a product and support early go-to-market activity.
The Atoms proposition centres on orchestrating multiple specialised agents — such as a researcher, product manager, architect, engineer and marketing roles — within a single browser-based interface. The company says this approach can reduce the time and cost involved in turning a concept into a commercially viable product, while avoiding the recruitment and coordination burden typically associated with early-stage start-ups.
People familiar with the product say it aims to go beyond front-end prototypes by generating operational infrastructure such as user authentication, database structures and payments integration — the plumbing required to launch paid software rather than a simple demonstration. The company is also emphasising market and competitor analysis as part of the workflow, reflecting the growing focus among founders and investors on faster validation as a way to reduce wasted build time.
The financing comes amid a broader push by venture firms to find durable business models in AI software, as the cost and capability of underlying models continue to shift. Cathay Capital’s backing signals investor interest in teams seeking to commercialise open-source innovation through packaged products and subscriptions, rather than relying solely on developer adoption.
DeepWisdom said the fresh capital would support continued development of its multi-agent stack and a push into global markets, as it seeks customers beyond China for tools aimed at solo founders and small teams.
