$30M to build payments
for AI agents

Excited to announce that Natural has raised a $30M Series A led by Kirsten Green at Forerunner, with continued participation by all major investors. The round was raised when the company was 193 days old and brings Natural’s total funding to over $40M.

The round was supported by Human Capital, Abstract, Genius Ventures, Torch Capital, Restive, SV Angel, Darragh Buckley (CEO of Increase), Pablo Palafox (CEO of HappyRobot), Paul Klein IV (CEO of Browserbase), Akshay Kothari (Co-founder of Notion), Henri Stern and Max Segall (CEO and COO of Privy), Pete Kooman (GP of Y Combinator), Dylan Babbs (CTO of Profound), Art Levy (CBO of Brex), Nichole Wischoff (Founder of Wischoff Ventures), Jake and Logan Paul (GPs of Antifund), and others.

Natural is building the foundational payments stack for AI agents.

Agents will execute a majority of global payment volume over the next decade. The question isn't whether agents become financial actors. It's who will build the infrastructure that allows them to transact on a global scale while remaining compliant, auditable, and secure. That is why we’re building Natural.

Today, six Natural products are live, with three more rolling out over the coming months and four more slated for Q4.

We made a bet on agentic payments a year ago, when no one was talking about it. We knew that we needed to own that entire stack. Natural builds and operates the primitives directly: ledgering, money movement, multi-bank settlement, multi-currency, fraud & compliance, agent identity & observability, and more.

Today, Natural serves companies across agent-native commerce, restaurants, hospitality, property management, consumer finance, business operations, and more. Some are creating entirely new payment flows. Others are turning agents into merchants or enabling them to move and manage money on behalf of businesses and consumers.

The market is moving extremely quickly. The shift from human-executed payments to agent-executed payments is already underway.

That is Natural.

Huge thank you to my two co-founders, Eric Wang and Walt Leung, who started the company with me 342 days ago, and to our team of 17 who have moved with an unbelievable level of intensity to get us here.

We are hiring aggressively across every function. If you want to join the fastest-moving company in payments, working on the largest opportunity in financial infrastructure, email us at founders@natural.com.

Thanks,
