Catena

Catena is creating a financial institution purpose-built for AI agents — combining a technology platform with a national trust bank to create the first regulated banking environment where agents transact safely under human-defined policies.

We're not bolting AI requirements onto a legacy platform. We're building from the ground up: deterministic policy enforcement, immutable audit trails, and verifiable agent identity.

All within a regulatory framework designed for durability. We're a team of engineers, designers, data scientists, finance professionals, and AI agents creating financial infrastructure and services that will transform the global economic system.

Sean Neville (CEO) and Matt Venables (CTO) founded Catena. Our team has experience co-founding Circle, inventing USDC, and building products at Brex, Affirm, Adobe, Meta, PayPal, Block, Airbnb, Airwallex, and others.
