Social commerce infrastructure startup Kosmc AI raises pre-seed round

Social commerce infrastructure startup Kosmc AI has raised $200K in a pre-seed funding round from a group of undisclosed angel investors across India and the Middle East. 

The proceeds will be used to strengthen its no-code product suite, grow affiliate integrations, and expand operations across India and Southeast Asia, Kosmc AI said in a press release.

Co-founded in 2024 by Ankur Gupta and Manavta Narula, Kosmc AI builds tools that address the growing disconnect between social media engagement and actual commerce. The company focuses on simplifying monetisation across high-traffic platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Telegram, where selling remains fragmented and conversion rates are low.

Kosmc AI’s product suite consists of four primary tools such as link-in-bio storefronts for social media-based selling, chat automation tools to manage customer conversations, smart links to streamline mobile checkout experiences, and affiliate program infrastructure that connects brands with creators and micro-influencers.

“The company’s mission is to make the digital economy more accessible. Commerce today needs to be creator-first, mobile-native, and frictionless. We are building tools that allow anyone to own their narrative, engage meaningfully, and earn from their presence online without heavy dependencies,” said Manavta Narula, co-founder & COO of Kosmc AI.

The Delhi-based startup claims that it supports over 160,000 monthly active users across 25 countries, catering to digital-first entrepreneurs, content creators, and early-stage consumer brands.
