Ex-Seattle startup DeltaGen acquired by new AI company backed by Veeam co-founder

DeltaGen, an AI startup that got its start in Seattle before moving to San Francisco this year, has been acquired by Worker.ai, a new small-business software company backed by Veeam founder Ratmir Timashev.

Worker, which launched Thursday, acquired all of DeltaGen for an undisclosed price that included a substantial cash component and equity in Worker, DeltaGen co-founder and CEO Rene Bystron told GeekWire.

Bystron joins Worker as co-founder and COO, and nine other DeltaGen employees are coming with him, including co-founders Michal Studnicka and Matus Ondreicka.

Worker, led by co-founder and CEO John Roberts, a former private equity operator based in Raleigh, N.C., is building software that lets small businesses hand off recurring work to AI agents. DeltaGen’s voice technology captures decisions made in conversations and turns them into assigned tasks.

Roberts had been a DeltaGen customer before Worker needed voice technology, Bystron said. “We could have raised another round and kept building independently, but this gave us the capital and experience to move faster with people we trusted,” he said.

Launched in 2024, DeltaGen raised a $1.2 million pre-seed round in early 2025 to build generative AI tools for financial professionals, with a focus on streamlining mergers and acquisitions. The company relocated from Seattle to San Francisco earlier this year.

“I still love Seattle and miss it like crazy,” said Bystron, who is keeping his apartment in Belltown. “But being closer to the AI founders, customers and investors in San Francisco makes a real difference at this stage.
