Naive is building autonomous companies: agent systems capable of operating real businesses end to end.

We release autonomous company templates and benchmarks, alongside a studio—where users can deploy and operate these systems. Our infrastructure platform, Vetta, powers long-running, high-volume agent workloads.

We’ve raised a $28.5M Series A from Nexus Venture Partners, Y Combinator, Zetta Venture Partners, Liquid 2 and leading operators.
