Naïve Raises $28.5M to Automate Business Setup and Operations
Naïve, a startup providing infrastructure that lets AI agents handle most business setup and operations, has raised $28.5 million in Series A funding led by Nexus Venture Partners. The company has attracted over 30,000 developer customers within months of launch and scaled its annual run-rate revenue by 10x to the low double-digit millions. The funds will be used to develop infrastructure for efficient agent loops, including model routing, memory, orchestration, and a serverless runtime.
Naïve offers infrastructure that enables AI agents to automate the bulk of business setup and running, with over 30,000 developer customers since its launch. The company packages payments, email, phone, cloud, storage, and incorporation behind a single API, allowing agents to form a US LLC with user involvement for KYC/KYB and payments. CEO Sean Dorje noted customers use Naïve for autonomous businesses like AI automation agencies, content channels, and even a rental car agency. Naïve has raised $28.5 million in Series A led by Nexus Venture Partners, with participation from Y Combinator, Zetta, Liquid 2, and angels. The funding will support research and development of infrastructure for more efficient agent loops, including a model router, memory system, orchestrator, and a serverless runtime running agents in lightweight JavaScript environments. Dorje said inference and serverless agents are the fastest-growing demand, and the company is also getting enterprise interest. Naïve currently has 10 full-time employees and has raised roughly $32 million total.
