Naïve raises $28.5m Series A led by Nexus Venture Partners

The agent infrastructure company is building the runtime components needed for AI-operated businesses.

Infrastructure for operating agents

Nexus Venture Partners led Naïve’s Series A, with Y Combinator, Zetta, Liquid 2 and angel investors participating. The financing backs a developer platform for agents that carry out business tasks across external services.

Naïve’s research agenda spans isolated execution environments, model routing, persistent memory and orchestration. Together these components address the operational challenge behind agent-run businesses: keeping work coordinated while controlling how software acts and spends.
