Naïve Raises $28.5M for Agent Infrastructure
Naïve raised $28.5M to build infrastructure that lets AI agents set up and run company operations.
AI agents are starting to need their own operations stack.
What happened
Naïve raised a $28.5 million Series A to build infrastructure for agents that can set up and run business operations.
The company is working on tools that let agents handle workflows such as payments, email, phone numbers, cloud infrastructure, storage and incorporation-related tasks. The goal is to give agents access to real operational primitives without forcing developers to wire everything together manually.
Why it matters
The interesting part is not the idea of an agent starting a company on its own. The more useful signal is that agents need governance, cost control, permissions and orchestration when they do real work.
As agentic systems move from demos to production, companies will need infrastructure that controls what agents can access, how they spend money, and how their actions are monitored.
The bigger picture
The agent market is shifting from model capability to execution infrastructure. Startups are emerging around memory, runtime, payments, identity, access control and auditability.
Naïve sits in that layer: not the agent itself, but the rails that make agent actions safer and more useful.
