The round was led by Aperture Capital, with participation from TX Ventures and other existing investors. Trustap plans to use the funds to drive the launch of its new product, Trustap Index. The company describes Trustap Index as "a solution designed to make marketplace or e-commerce listings fully tradable by AI agents." The service will work with leading AI models to handle product discovery, negotiation, and payment processes on behalf of buyers, with each transaction manually confirmed before funds are released, aligning with the shift in online commerce from humans to AI agents.

Trustap Index is set to launch in 2026, and an early access waiting list is now open. The index aims to address the shortcomings of shopping agents in product discoverability, leveraging structured data precision to help agents make more informed purchasing decisions based on numerous shopping criteria across fragmented platforms.

"This funding gives us ample room to ensure that when AI agents shop anywhere on the internet, they can find listings, verify sellers, and securely complete payments through the infrastructure they can rely on," said Conor Lyden, founder and CEO of Trustap. He noted that the company has spent years building a transaction platform to make e-commerce, peer-to-peer, and marketplace platforms safer, more profitable, and more trustworthy for buyers and sellers, and that Trustap Index is the natural next step in this process.

Ben Robinson, CEO of Aperture Capital, pointed out that the rise of agent commerce is happening much faster than many anticipated. Trustap, which already works with hundreds of marketplaces to provide secure end-to-end transaction management, is uniquely positioned to orchestrate agent transactions, serving as a single, trusted aggregation point that indexes and transforms fragmented inventory data into unified, machine-readable information.

Founded in 2017, Trustap has offices in Cork, Dublin, as well as in the UK, US, Spain, and Croatia. The company employs over 40 people and serves approximately 300 clients. About two years ago, Trustap raised $5.5 million in a Series A funding round and became the first company to receive investment from the Digital Irish Venture Fund.
