Reload, an innovative AI workforce management platform, has secured $2.275 million in seed funding while unveiling its flagship product, Epic.
The funding round, led by Anthemis with participation from Zeal Capital Partners and Plug and Play, marks a significant milestone for the company founded last year by serial entrepreneurs Newton Asare and Kiran Das.
Founders' Journey and Vision for AI Employees
Asare and Das, who previously co-founded a company that was successfully acquired, recognized the growing need to treat AI agents as true digital teammates requiring structured management.
Launched amid the rapid proliferation of AI agents in enterprises, Reload addresses key challenges like context loss and coordination across disparate AI tools from various builders.
Epic: Pioneering Shared Memory for AI Agents
Epic functions as an architect for coding agents, establishing product requirements, data models, API specs, and tech stack decisions at the outset of projects.
It maintains a persistent, shared memory of decisions, code changes, and patterns, enabling seamless agent handoffs and multi-engineer collaboration without losing critical context.
Integrating as extensions into popular AI-assisted editors like Cursor and Windsurf, Epic enhances software development by complementing rather than replacing existing coding agents.
Impact on AI-Driven Workforces and Competitive Edge
By providing visibility, role assignments, permissions, and oversight, Reload positions itself as the system of record for AI employees operating across teams and departments.
In a crowded market with players like LongChain and CrewAI focusing on deployment and memory, Reload differentiates through upfront system definition and long-term project context preservation.
The new capital will fuel hiring initiatives and infrastructure expansion to support an influx of AI agents in evolving work environments.
CEO Newton Asare envisions a future where humans manage AI employees with robust onboarding and coordination systems, heralding the next era of collaborative work.
