Launch YC: Maven – Payments for Voice AI Agents

"Add payments to any voice agent in minutes, not months."
TL;DR: Voice AI can handle the conversation. It just can’t complete the transaction. Maven lets voice agents collect payments during live calls with one API call.

The Problem

Voice agents are being deployed across:

  • Home services
  • Healthcare
  • Insurance
  • Sales
  • Collections
  • And more

They can qualify leads, book appointments, and negotiate pricing.

But when a customer says, “I’m ready to pay,” everything breaks.

Adding payments today means:

  • Building PCI-compliant infrastructure
  • Handling sensitive card data
  • Managing failed payments mid-call
  • Supporting multiple gateways like Stripe, Authorize.net, and Adyen

Their Solution

With a single API call, they take over secure card collection, processing, retry logic, and PCI compliance.

Card data flows directly through Maven’s PCI-compliant infrastructure, never your servers.

As voice AI becomes a large revenue channel, it needs real payment infrastructure. Maven completes the loop.

Their Ask

They are looking for intros to companies or operators where payments happen over the phone, including:

  • Home services (HVAC, plumbing, roofing)
  • Healthcare billing and scheduling
  • Insurance agencies
  • Collections
  • Auto services
  • SMB sales teams

If you know founders or teams deploying voice AI in these areas, the founders would love an intro.

Their Vision

As AI agents handle more revenue-generating conversations across voice and other interfaces, their vision is to become the default infrastructure for all human-to-agent payment touchpoints.
