Funding Announcement
Naïve, a company specializing in AI-driven business automation, has successfully closed a Series A funding round, securing $28.5 million. The investment was led by Nexus Venture Partners, as exclusively reported by TechCrunch. This funding follows a period of significant growth for the startup.
Automating Business Operations
Naïve offers an infrastructure that enables AI agents to manage a substantial portion of the tasks involved in establishing and operating a business. This includes packaging processes such as payment setup, email account creation, phone number provisioning, cloud infrastructure configuration, storage management, and company incorporation behind a single API. Users provide AI agents and a token budget to utilize the platform.
Platform Capabilities
The platform provides a prompt that developers can use with AI tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex to connect to Naïve's API and provision necessary business infrastructure. It facilitates the formation of a U.S. LLC by supplying details such as state, industry code, business description, and proposed names. While users must complete KYC/KYB processes and make payments, AI agents can handle subsequent setup tasks including email inboxes, virtual cards, phone numbers, databases, computing resources, and integrations with services like Stripe and QuickBooks.
A governance layer is included to help users set budgets, restrict agent capabilities, and require human approval for sensitive actions. Naïve also offers business templates for various applications, including AI SEO, full-stack SaaS apps, recruiting, accounting, customer support, and a mobile emulator for agents to operate smartphone apps.
Market Traction
Naïve has attracted over 30,000 developer customers within months of its launch. CEO and co-founder Sean Dorje stated that the company has scaled its annual run-rate revenue by 10x to the low double-digit millions over the past six months. Customers are reportedly using Naïve to run autonomous businesses, such as AI automation agencies and online content channels.
