8090, the AI-native software factory founded by Chamath Palihapitiya, today announced that it has raised $135M, led by Salesforce, to scale its platform that lets teams of people and AI agents build and change enterprise software together.
8090 builds the 8090 Software Factory, the governed multiplayer platform for building and changing enterprise software with coordinated AI agents under human-led oversight, and runs an enterprise delivery business that designs, builds, hosts, and operates custom systems for large companies in regulated industries. 8090 serves healthcare, insurance, life sciences, financial services, manufacturing, and government.
The capital will be used to expand the company’s commercial footprint, scale the Software Factory globally, invest in the infrastructure required to support enterprise adoption, and continue building toward a future where the ability to create, build, and innovate is accessible to more people than ever before.
“AI can write code. The hard part of enterprise software is keeping fifty agents and a hundred engineers changing the same complex system every week without it pulling apart,” said Chamath Palihapitiya, Cofounder and CEO of 8090.
“The best companies in the world build custom software that captures what makes them unique. We built Software Factory on the belief that every organization should be able to do the same thing. AI should expand access to intelligence, expertise, and execution capacity so more people and organizations can build, create, and compete. That’s the opportunity we’re pursuing at 8090,” added Chamath Palihapitiya.
