Leadership Comments

"As commerce enters the agentic era, two major forces are converging: consumers have so much less patience when website or search experiences are not tailored to their intent, and agents are increasingly shaping the buyer journey. Yet most commerce infrastructure is not built to understand buyer intent in real time, whether that's for a human or an agent," says Maha Malik, Vice President at Bessemer Venture Partners.

"Brands are paying more than ever to acquire customers, then trying to convert them with a stack that only understands the fraction it already recognizes," says Malachyte CEO Sidd Motwani. Our technology reads behavior instead of logins or cookies, so it understands every visitor before their first click and keeps sharpening with every action.
