Glue, the pioneering platform for agentic team chat, announced that it has secured $20 million in a Series A funding round led by Abstract Ventures, with additional participation from Chapter One, Goldcrest Capital, and Craft Ventures, which originally incubated the company. This latest investment will accelerate Glue’s mission to redefine collaboration by embedding MCP-powered, agentic AI directly into the heart of team communication.
By building the largest in-app MCP (Model Context Protocol) directory, Glue now offers 35 apps for one-click installation, with support for thousands more via custom MCP servers. MCP enables AI to access context from and take actions across numerous applications. Consequently, teams can integrate internal tools and workflows seamlessly, allowing users to direct tasks across multiple apps without leaving the team chat. Glue AI intelligently determines the best app and tool to achieve each goal, streamlining productivity in real-time.

“MCP is a game changer,” said Evan Owen, cofounder and CEO of Glue. “We built Glue from the ground up as an AI-native platform, and now with MCP, we can deliver the ultimate coworking space for humans and agents. MCP makes Glue exponentially more powerful. The future is agentic.”
Unlike conventional AI services such as ChatGPT Business, Glue does not compete with them. Instead, it functions as a fully-featured, multi-player team chat application compatible with models including GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, and open-source solutions like Moonshot’s Kimi K2.
Glue’s unique approach includes a threading model that organizes channels into threads and groups, significantly reducing noise while providing precise context for AI-powered assistance. This model helps teams focus on outcomes rather than distractions.
Key features of Glue include:
- MCP-powered tools: Instantly transfer work in and out of apps like Linear, Notion, Sentry, Vercel, and Zapier to ensure information flows where it is needed.
- Multiplayer agentic AI: Leverage multiple AI models directly in team conversations for informed decision-making.
- Goal-oriented threads: Reduce distractions and maintain clarity in team discussions.

Designed with open data principles, Glue is customizable, extensible, and suitable for teams of all sizes from startups to enterprises managing complex workflows. Importantly, Glue ensures that users retain ownership of their data, not the platform.
“Collaboration software has remained static while AI advances rapidly,” said Ramtin Naimi from Abstract. “Glue represents the future: a platform where agents and humans can work side by side, in context, with real impact.”
Glue will deploy the new funding to enhance product development, scale its infrastructure, and expand its team across engineering, design, and go-to-market operations, aiming to transform how teams collaborate with AI.
