Payments Infrastructure for Voice Agents
Hey YC!
We’re @Brandon and @Wasi, co-founders of @Maven.
We’re building the payments infrastructure that lets voice AI agents collect payments during live calls.

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
Our Solution
With a single API call, we 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.
Our Ask
We’re 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, we’d love an intro.
Our Vision
As AI agents handle more revenue-generating conversations across voice and other interfaces, our vision is to become the default infrastructure for all human-to-agent payment touchpoints.
