Natural has raised a $30 million Series A led by Kirsten Green at Forerunner, with continued backing from existing investors, bringing the company\u2019s total funding to over $40 million. The round closed when the company was 193 days old and drew participation from Human Capital, Abstract, Genius Ventures, Torch Capital, and a range of individual backers including executives from Increase, HappyRobot, Browserbase, Notion, Privy, and Brex, among others.<\/p>\n
Natural is building what it describes as the foundational payments stack for AI agents, positioning itself around the idea that agents will handle a majority of global payment volume over the next decade and that the key competitive question is who builds the infrastructure allowing them to transact securely and compliantly at scale.<\/p>\n
The company currently has six products live, including FDIC-insured wallets for agents, one-way vaults, and tools for sending, requesting, and transferring funds, with additional products for voice-based payment collection, merchant capabilities, and card issuance expected in the coming months, and further tools for per-API-call billing, credit lines, and direct payment rail access planned for the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
Natural said it operates its own ledgering, money movement, multi-bank settlement, and fraud and compliance systems, serving clients across agent-native commerce, hospitality, property management, and business operations. The company was founded 342 days ago by Kahlil, Eric Wang, and Walt Leung, and now employs a team of 17.<\/p>\n
