Naïve raises $28.5M Series A to let AI agents run entire companies

Over 30,000 developers already use it to spin up businesses, and revenue has grown tenfold in six months.

• Naïve raised $28.5 million in a Series A led by Nexus Venture Partners, with participation from Y Combinator, Zetta, Liquid 2, and several angel investors.
• Naïve packages payments, email, phone numbers, cloud infrastructure, storage, and U.S. LLC incorporation behind a single API that AI coding agents can call to set up and operate a business.
• Founders Sean Dorje and Dennis Zax, 20-year-old Berkeley dropouts who have built together since age 14, previously sold their startup ezML before going through Y Combinator.
• The company has signed up over 30,000 developer customers within months of launch and grown annual run-rate revenue tenfold to the low double-digit millions in six months.
• A governance layer lets users cap spending, restrict what agents can do, and require human sign-off before sensitive actions like payments or account changes go through.
• Naïve is also building cost-reduction tech for running agents, including model routing, memory systems, and a serverless runtime that bills mainly when agents are actively working.
• As vibe coding shrinks the time to ship an app, the real bottleneck has shifted to the bureaucratic overhead of forming and operating a company, which Naïve is betting agents can absorb.
