Maven provides payments infrastructure for voice agents, enabling AI voice agents to collect payments over the phone through a single API call. It handles card processing and PCI compliance across payment gateways, abstracting away the complexity of taking payments during voice interactions. The founders bring engineering backgrounds from Meta and Amazon and UC Berkeley. Maven is part of Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch.
