ROYC Partners with Stilla to Deploy AI Agents Across Private Markets Operations
ROYC, an AI infrastructure platform for private markets, announced a partnership with Stilla.ai to build and run AI agents across its operations. The deal lets ROYC teams create AI skills once and deploy them company-wide rather than rebuilding similar capabilities in isolated projects.
The partnership targets product development, fund operations, investment management, investor services, and legal functions. ROYC expects faster product launches, shorter timelines from concept to release, and measurable productivity gains.
How This Works in Practice
Peter Bergenwald, CTO of ROYC, said the strategy embeds AI into daily workflows rather than treating it as an add-on. "Our teams can now build a skill once and share it with everyone compounding across the company rather than re-explaining it in every thread," he said.
The partnership centers on three principles: model flexibility (not betting on a single AI model), context-aware design, and enterprise-grade governance. All AI operations run within strict oversight frameworks with audit trails and human review built in.
Siavash Ghorbani, CEO of Stilla, said private capital firms need AI that performs actual work safely, not text generation. "ROYC has been thinking about this in the right way from the start, with responsibility as the foundation, ambition on top," he said.
Why This Matters for Product Teams
For product development specifically, the setup means agents can handle repetitive work across workflows while product teams focus on strategy and design. The shared skill library prevents duplicate effort when multiple teams need similar capabilities.
ROYC's customers and partners should see faster feature releases and shorter go-to-market windows. The governance framework addresses a core concern in financial services: demonstrating that AI decisions are auditable and comply with regulations.
Both companies emphasize this is about operational change, not just tool adoption. Stilla was built by the team behind Tictail and Shop Pay. ROYC operates across EMEA and APAC serving wealth managers and asset managers.
For teams working on AI for Product Development or implementing AI Agents & Automation, the partnership illustrates how companies operationalize agentic AI at scale with proper controls in place.
