Intellivisa, a U.S.-based company building an AI-powered clearance engine for international travel, has secured $3 million in pre-seed funding to scale its travel clearance platform. The round was led by Mu Ventures and Incisive Ventures, with participation from Uncommon Denominator, Recursive Ventures, P2S: AltaIR Capital, Smart Partnership Capital and United Airlines Ventures. The financing builds on a 2025 angel round backed by Naman Budhdeo, Bobby Patrick, Andy Hunn and Antler.
How the travel clearance engine works
Embedded in post-booking flows for airlines, travel management companies and online travel agencies, Intellivisa’s platform determines what each itinerary requires based on a traveler’s passport and destination. A team of AI agents works in parallel to validate documents against real-time embassy rules, check for fraud, complete forms and submit visa and travel authorizations directly to airlines and government systems.
The company supports more than 50 document types from 195 countries. According to Intellivisa, most applications are filed within minutes and approved within 10 to 12 hours, with an approval rate above 99%.
Funding and strategic aims
CEO and co-founder Sudeepa Singh said the funding would take the company beyond visa processing toward full-stack clearance, with the goal of ensuring every traveler arrives at the airport already cleared. Gary Benerofe, General Partner at Mu Ventures, said Intellivisa was applying agentic workflows to a deeply manual process and was positioned to become critical infrastructure for international travel.
The new capital is intended to accelerate deployment of Intellivisa’s agentic AI within travel industry post-booking flows and broader clearance use cases.
