Asana Acquires StackAI for $75M — No-Code Agent Builder Plugs Into Salesforce, Slack, GSuite, ERP, and ITSM as Workplace OS Pivots to 'Human-Agent Teams'
Asana paid $75M for StackAI, a Y Combinator W23 agent-builder that had raised about $20M from Gradient, Epakon Capital, and Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch. MIT-PhD co-founders Tony Rosinol and Bernard Aceituno join Asana to run agentic workflows across enterprise systems.
Asana buys a YC-grown agent-builder for $75M to extend its 'work management' platform into cross-system agentic execution.

What is it?
StackAI is a no-code platform for designing, testing, deploying, and governing custom AI agents that automate business-critical workflows. It connects to enterprise systems like Salesforce, Slack, GSuite, ERPs, CRMs, and ITSM tools, letting non-technical teams chain together AI steps that run across the stack. The May 28 announcement coincided with Asana's Q1 FY27 earnings call.
How does it work?
Asana is folding StackAI into its existing AI Studio and AI Teammates products to ship what CEO Dan Rogers calls 'the operating system for human-agent teams.' StackAI continues as its own product and brand, focused on financial services, healthcare, and professional services. Co-founders Tony Rosinol and Bernard Aceituno join Asana and bring the StackAI engineering team with them.
Why does it matter?
StackAI plays in the same space as Zapier and the agent stacks shipped by OpenAI and Anthropic. By owning a cross-system agent builder, Asana gets a defensible answer to the question 'what happens when agents take over the workflow layer that work-management tools used to own.' The price tag is modest for a YC W23 startup, suggesting StackAI raised at a discount rather than fighting for a unicorn round.
