Investors
The universal substrate for human and machine dialogue.
Building the definitive infrastructure layer for modern commerce, communication aggregation, and autonomous agent coordination.
The thesis
Protocol fragmentation is permanent.
The messaging market will never consolidate into a single winning app. Regional preferences, privacy requirements, and platform ecosystems keep communication fractured across WhatsApp, Signal, WeChat, iMessage, and Discord. The ultimate value accrues to the abstraction layer that unifies these closed networks into a single sovereign terminal.
Business communication is a hundred-billion-dollar category built on bad incentives.
Legacy customer messaging platforms operate like digital tollbooths, billing businesses twenty to thirty cents every time they speak to a customer. They charge punitive rates for volume while forcing teams to work inside slow web dashboards. By charging for storage rather than conversation counts, 1comms disrupts the economics of the entire category.
The enterprise wedge meets the autonomous agent wave.
We entered the market by solving the hardest communication problem in the world: high-volume, multi-app trade coordination for commodity and diamond trading desks. That battle-tested core now serves as the infrastructure for autonomous AI agents, giving systems the read, write, and search tools required to operate in human workflows.
Built by experienced systems operators.
1comms was founded by Ben Auerbach (CEO) and Adam Albastov (CTO). Our leadership combines deep domain knowledge in enterprise messaging deployments with elite distributed systems engineering, backed by institutional European technology capital.
