- Thira raised a $21 million seed round led by Madrona to develop AI agents that handle back-office work such as IT support.
- Thira was founded by Apptio co-founders, and its leader Sunny Gupta has previously led two prior enterprise tech companies that also received Madrona backing.
Why it matters: Thira's $21M seed gives a repeat Madrona-backed team (Sunny Gupta, ex-Apptio) a second run at automating enterprise workflows, this time with AI agents rather than SaaS dashboards — a bet that IT support is the beachhead for agentic back-office automation.
