The only infrastructure purpose-built for the traffic characteristics of AI agents. Four capabilities. One BASE_URL change. No code changes. No rearchitecting.

Success-fee only — we earn 10% of the dollars we save you. No savings, no fee.
scrollA lightweight gateway that sits between your AI agents and your LLMs — intercepting every query, caching semantically similar answers, and routing cache misses to the cheapest capable model. Agents run faster, cheaper, and fully sovereign. Zero rearchitecting.
Every LLM-bound agent query is captured at the gateway before it reaches the frontier. No changes to your agent code — one BASE_URL environment variable.
Drop-in proxyThe agent query is converted to a high-dimensional embedding using your preferred ML model, then matched against the per-agent vector index — locally, inside your perimeter.
Local embeddingsSemantically similar prior answers are served in <10ms at ~1/100th the cost of a fresh LLM call. The agent gets its answer. No token is spent. Data never leaves your perimeter.
<10ms · $0.002/MCache misses route to the cheapest capable model — Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, or local — based on query complexity scoring. Agents never know the difference.
67% miss savingsEvery cache hit adds a validated query-answer pair to a private, enterprise-owned knowledge graph that compounds in accuracy and value with every agent interaction. The graph doesn’t just reduce cost — it eliminates the rediscovery cycle. The agent stops re-learning what it already knows. That compounds. The knowledge graph belongs to the enterprise — not to Vector Vault, not to any LLM provider.
Institutional memory · Compounds daily · Enterprise-ownedFour independent signals in 90 days have validated the primitive infrastructure layer.
Agentic systems waste up to 85% of their compute rediscovering context they should already know. The backend has no memory. Every call starts cold. Vector Vault was built to eliminate this tax.
SAP spent over €1 billion acquiring AI memory infrastructure to solve the same class of problem at enterprise scale. That is not a startup problem. That is sovereign-scale validation.
Palo Alto acquired Portkey at $120–140M — double their February 2026 valuation in 90 days. Security-first gateways get acquired into security stacks. Vector Vault operates one level below — in the cost, caching, and sovereignty primitive where the token economics actually live.
Cerebras IPO’d at $95 billion on inference speed alone. Cerebras makes inference faster when it fires. Vector Vault eliminates inference before it fires. Different layers. Same macro tailwind.
“We have a $300 million token problem... we need an intermediary layer that routes inputs intelligently between frontier and smaller models.”
Vector Vault is that layer — plus semantic caching, perimeter security, and knowledge graph construction. Three dimensions he didn’t mention. 42% of $300M is $126M back on the P&L.
Each pillar addresses a distinct enterprise buyer — four independent urgency triggers, four separate budget conversations, one infrastructure layer purpose-built for agentic workloads.
Forty-two percent blended cost reduction on day one — from agent query caching alone. Success-fee pricing means you pay 10% of measured savings. Zero upfront risk. The CFO doesn't need to believe in AI to close this deal. They just need to read the invoice.
Agent reasoning loops firing 100+ LLM calls at 2–8 seconds each create minutes-long workflows. Vector Vault makes them real-time. This is a product quality decision, not just a performance metric. Zero rearchitecting — one environment variable.
Route agents to Claude today, GPT-4o tomorrow, a fine-tuned local model next year — without touching agent code. Deploy on AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-prem simultaneously. Vendors know they're replaceable. You negotiate from strength, not dependency.
Local vector embeddings mean agent query intent, proprietary decision logic, pricing models, and customer PII never reach external LLM APIs. Every cache hit is a query that didn't leak. Architecture-level compliance — not a contractual promise.
Every cache hit builds a private intelligence asset — a knowledge graph that grows more accurate and more valuable with every agent interaction. It belongs to the enterprise, not to Vector Vault and not to any LLM provider. No LLM provider can replicate it without commoditizing their own inference revenue. The more agent traffic flows through Vector Vault, the stronger the moat becomes. This is the difference between renting intelligence from a frontier model and owning it.
Twenty years of shared history. One prior co-founded exit. The same intercept-cache-serve architecture — now applied to the AI agent token economy.

Vector Vault is the fifth generation of the same carrier-class C++ intercept-cache-redirect architecture the team has been building together for over 20 years:
Nortel → Cisco → SuperLumin Networks → STRATACACHE → Vector Vault
Each generation was more performant and more secure than the last. Generation five is the same deterministic C++ discipline — now applied to the agentic traffic plane. They have done the hard part before.
Vector Vault is pre-revenue and actively raising. If you're building enterprise AI agent workflows, investing in AI infrastructure, or simply curious about what we're seeing in the field — reach out.

Sensitivity Tiering: Each agent node carries its own cache policy — data classification level, retention window, permitted LLM routes, and perimeter controls. A CFO agent handling board projections operates under a fundamentally different policy than a customer service agent handling order status. The network manages this — not your dev team.
