Birth of a
Unicorn

What happens when technology allows us to deliver truly autonomous software for payments?

Birth of a Unicorn follows a group of entrepreneurs building a fintech around a radical idea: what happens when software can autonomously negotiate, buy, sell and pay on our behalf? As their company races from startup towards unicorn status, the story explores agentic AI, autonomous commerce, delegated payments and the emerging economy of intelligent machines. It asks a bigger question about the future of money: when machines can make decisions, who gives them authority to spend?
