Naïve Raises $28.5M to Automate Business Setup and AI Operations

Naïve, an AI infrastructure startup, has raised $28.5 million in Series A funding to help automate the process of setting up and running businesses.

The funding round was led by Nexus Venture Partners, with participation from Y Combinator, Zetta, Liquid 2 and angel investors including Gokul Rajaram, Apollo.io co-founder Tim Zheng and former HubSpot COO JD Sherman. The latest round brings Naïve’s total funding to around $32 million.

Founded by Sean Dorje, Naïve provides infrastructure that allows AI agents to handle tasks such as setting up payments, email accounts, phone numbers, databases, cloud services and other business tools through a single API.

The startup says it has attracted more than 30,000 developer customers and increased its annual recurring revenue by 10 times over the past six months.

Naïve plans to use the new funding to improve AI agent infrastructure, including model routing, memory systems, serverless computing, governance and orchestration.
