Manufact

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is having a moment, and Manufact is three people who decided the agent-era infrastructure gap was too urgent to wait for Big Tech to close. They're building the open-source tools and cloud layer that make AI agents actually functional rather than just impressively verbose, and a $6.3M seed round suggests the market agrees this is foundational work — not a nice-to-have. Low-key, a three-person team shipping this kind of critical plumbing while enterprise vendors are still holding strategy sessions is exactly the kind of signal that separates real builders from the noise.
