I'm excited to share that Namespace has raised $23 million in Seed and Series A funding led by NEA, with participation from Susa Ventures and burst.vc.
Why we're building Namespace
Building software should be fast and efficient. Instead, teams are slowed down by developer workflows that are slow, hard to understand, and expensive to scale.
Software is already core to most companies. That will only become more true.
The challenges of building software only get worse as teams and codebases grow, and coding agents are stressing those limits exponentially.
Workflows that already strain under human authorship break down when agents can produce far more code than humans ever could.
This is because code-related workflows are unique: they are bursty but latency-sensitive, incremental but highly parallel, and they require reproducibility, provenance, security, and efficiency.
We believe the only way to meet the scale of future software development is to build a compute platform for code from first principles, across software and hardware.
That's Namespace. We built our own compute, storage, networking, and core services around the needs of modern code execution. The result is infrastructure that is fast, scalable, secure, and efficient.
That platform serves both human developers and coding agents. Many teams already critically depend on Namespace to ship faster, companies like fal.ai, LiveKit, Framer, Vanta, Verkada, and Zed.
The same underlying compute platform is also the foundational layer of an increasing number of products. Buildkite builds Hosted Agents on Namespace. And Warp.dev builds Background Agents on Namespace. Both run on the same multi-tenant platform, and their customers have access to the same performance benefits.
What's next
We started with CI/CD because it is one of the clearest bottlenecks in software delivery. But it was always the starting point, not the end state.
What we've found is that as inference gets faster, and code generation becomes cheaper, the impact of sub-optimal code workflows only becomes wider.
That's the infrastructure we're building towards: it both supports your existing CI/CD needs today, but is shaped to move at the speed of agents.
And enables a new world where code is being generated, executed, validated, and improved continuously.
And we won't stop there. As development moves toward specialized models, reinforcement learning, and tighter training-to-execution loops, fidelity matters. The environment where systems learn should match the environment where they run. Namespace provides that across Linux, macOS, and Windows, because the world is multi-platform.
Over time, much of what we call coding may feel more like assembly language: still foundational, but no longer the main abstraction. As that shift happens, infrastructure will need to support a more abstract, more automated way of building software. Where intent is retained, but flexibility is also afforded to compose your own software factory.
That's the platform Namespace is building.
Our Series A gives us the resources to keep pushing on that foundation: increasing performance, expanding the platform, and building the compute layer modern software teams and agents will rely on.
A big thank you to our customers that have supported us along the way, to the platforms that we've built on, and to the new investors that believe in the same future.
