Deck Raises $12M Series A to Open the Web’s Data

San Francisco, CA – April 22, 2025 – We just raised a $12 million Series A funding round led by Infinity Ventures. Deck’s browser-based data agents unlock user-permissionned data from any website, turning previously siloed information into structured, accessible data.

The urgency for open data access has been underscored by recent developments in AI. As AI systems become more advanced, they increasingly depend on diverse, high-quality datasets to improve performance. However, much of the web’s data remains locked within platforms that control access, limiting innovation. Without open access, AI risks being trained on outdated, biased, or incomplete information, hindering its full potential. Deck solves this problem by breaking down barriers, enabling all applications, AI or not, to pull in real, user-permissioned data from any website, making information more accessible, dynamic, and useful.

Breaking Down the Barriers to Data Access

In today’s digital world, critical user data is scattered across thousands of online accounts, utility bills, business dashboards, financial platforms each locked away with no easy way to extract and integrate it. APIs, when available, are limited, inconsistent, or restricted. Other solutions, like traditional screen-scraping, are unreliable and fragile, breaking with every small website change.

Deck takes a different approach: treating the web itself as an open platform. Instead of waiting for companies to provide structured access, Deck’s browser-based data agents navigate sites just like a human would logging in, clicking through accounts, and retrieving real-time data, all with the user’s permission. The result? A seamless, automated way to access and unify information across the web.

“Our mission is to eliminate data silos across the internet,” said YG Leboeuf, CEO and co-founder of Deck. “For too long, users have been stuck exporting spreadsheets or manually copying information between platforms. We’re changing that. With Deck, any website can become an open data source on the user’s terms.”

How Deck’s Data Agents Work

At the heart of Deck’s technology are browser-based data agents, which act as intelligent data retrievers, securely collecting information from user-authorized websites. Unlike traditional integrations, these agents don’t rely on APIs, they simply access sites the way a user would, but in a scalable and automated way.

Key benefits of Deck’s approach:

• User-Permissioned & Secure – Data agents only access accounts explicitly authorized by the user, ensuring full privacy and control.
• Works Everywhere – Compatible with any web-based platform, regardless of whether it has an API. If a user can access it, Deck can too.
• Structured, Ready-to-Use Data – Extracted data is automatically standardized into a clean, usable format, eliminating the mess of PDFs and inconsistent spreadsheets.
• Reliable & Always Up-to-Date – Agents adapt to website changes, keeping data streams flowing even as interfaces evolve.

With this model, Deck transforms the entire web into a potential data platform while respecting privacy, security, and user consent.

Proven Success in Utility Data, What’s Next

Deck’s initial focus has been on utility data, one of the most fragmented and difficult categories for integration. Today, its data agents connect to over 100,000 utility providers across 40+ countries, retrieving real-time billing, usage, and account information with user authorization. This is a game-changer for energy management apps, sustainability platforms, and financial services that rely on accurate, up-to-date utility data.

The company has seen exponential growth in just a few months, moving from seed to Series A in record time—just three months. The team behind Deck is no stranger to revolutionizing industries: its co-founders previously built Flinks, a fintech data company that was acquired for $150 million. That expertise is now being applied to utilities, an industry historically resistant to innovation. Deck is already in discussions with some of the largest utility providers in the world, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive, industry leaders are amazed at how seamlessly Deck can unlock and standardize their data.

But utilities are just the beginning. Deck’s technology can be applied to any industry where data is trapped in online accounts—from financial services and SaaS dashboards to personal health records and e-commerce order histories. By proving its model in one of the hardest-to-access sectors, Deck is demonstrating the vast potential of its open-data infrastructure.

“Others have tried and failed to solve this problem,” said Maria Chen, Partner at Open Future Capital. “APIs are too limited, and traditional scraping is too brittle. Deck’s breakthrough is treating the browser itself as the universal integration layer an approach that finally makes the open web possible.”

$12M Series A to Expand Reach and Innovation

With this new funding, Deck will scale its engineering team, refine its data agent technology, and expand into new sectors beyond utilities. The company is also investing in its developer platform, making it even easier for businesses to tap into its data streams and build new applications powered by previously inaccessible information.

Alongside Infinity Ventures and Intact, the round includes strategic angel investors with deep experience in API infrastructure, fintech, and data access, helping Deck navigate the technical and regulatory challenges of unlocking web data at scale.
