One-year-old startup Natural has raised $30 million to develop a new financial infrastructure designed for autonomous transactions conducted by artificial intelligence (AI) agents. The company aims to fundamentally change how payments are processed in an increasingly automated world, and directly compete with established payment processors like Stripe.
The funding will be used to reinvent the financial architecture necessary for AI agents to conduct transactions independently. Natural believes current systems aren’t equipped to handle the unique demands of these autonomous interactions. The company was founded just one year ago but has quickly gained traction in the emerging field of AI-driven commerce.
Natural's goal is to provide a complete payment solution tailored specifically for AI agents, enabling them to seamlessly and securely manage financial transactions without human intervention. This includes handling everything from billing and subscriptions to complex multi-party payments. By focusing solely on this niche, Natural hopes to offer a more efficient and scalable solution than existing general-purpose payment platforms.
