Optiak builds an enterprise AI management platform — an "operating layer" that sits between a company's AI applications/agents and the underlying models, providing centralised governance, security policies, observability, memory, cost optimisation and multi-provider/multi-region routing across 200+ models. Founded in 2025 by DeepMind, Amazon and Stripe alumni and headquartered in Madrid (with a US entity), it came out of stealth in June 2026 with a €4M pre-seed. Its site references large enterprise users including Santander, Just Eat and Trainline; the company also runs a Design Partner Program.
