[Restate Completes $20 Million Series A, AI Agents Drive Demand for Persistent Infrastructure] According to a report by TechCrunch on September 30, Berlin-based persistent workflow infrastructure company Restate has completed a $20 million Series A funding round, led by Singular, with participation from Redpoint and Capital One Ventures. Its execution engine enables multi-step workflows to withstand crashes and network interruptions, addressing the growing demand driven by AI agents running longer and following less predictable paths. In recent months, the company has signed multiple six- and seven-figure client contracts, including the vibe coding platform Replit. The new funding will be used to build a marketing team, expand engineering efforts, and grow its San Francisco Bay Area office, while challenging industry heavyweight Temporal (valued at $12.55 billion earlier this month).
