Background
Naïve, a startup that provides infrastructure allowing AI agents to handle most of the work of running a business, has raised $28.5 million in a Series A funding round led by Nexus Venture Partners, taking its total funding to around $32 million.
The company said it had signed up more than 30,000 developer customers within months of its launch. Its platform packages business essentials such as payments, email accounts, phone numbers, cloud infrastructure, storage and company incorporation behind a single API, letting AI agents built with tools like Cursor, Claude Code or Codex set up and operate a company. While users still need to complete KYC and KYB checks and handle payments themselves, agents can otherwise form a US LLC, open bank accounts, set up virtual cards and connect services such as Stripe and QuickBooks.
CEO and co-founder Sean Dorje said the company had grown its annual run-rate revenue tenfold over the past six months, reaching the low double-digit millions. He said customers were using the platform to run autonomous ventures ranging from AI automation agencies and content channels to a fully autonomous rental-car agency, adding that automation agencies were currently its fastest-growing segment.
Dorje said the company planned to use the new funding to build infrastructure that makes running AI agents more cost-efficient, including a model router, a memory system and a serverless runtime for lightweight agent deployment. He noted that demand for inference optimisation and serverless agents was growing quickly, since running agents was becoming businesses’ biggest cost line.
Naïve currently employs 10 people. Other investors in the round included Y Combinator, Zetta, Liquid 2 and several angel investors.
