Slack for Agents — Building the Internet of Agents
Techstrong TV Interviews

Today's agents work in silos — built in different frameworks, hosted on different clouds, locked inside different SaaS platforms. Arick Goomanovsky, CEO and Co-Founder of BAND, joins Alan Shimel on TechStrong TV to explain why that won't work in the agentic economy, and what his team is building to fix it. Arick walks through his journey from co-founding Sygnia and Ermetic (acquired by Tenable in 2023) to leaving Tenable a year ago to chase a thesis he's held since 2018 — that agents will one day make real economic decisions, and they'll need an infrastructure to collaborate with each other and with humans. BAND, which exited stealth with $17M in seed funding from Sierra Ventures, Hetz Ventures, and Team8, is building that layer: a real-time, multi-peer interaction infrastructure that works across LangGraph, CrewAI, Claude Code, Codex, and SaaS agents from Salesforce, ServiceNow, SAP, and more. He and Alan dig into why agents must speak natural language, how the BAND control plane gives enterprises governance and visibility, and the pricing model behind it.
