8090 Labs Raises $135M to Scale AI Software Factory

8090 Labs, an AI software factory startup founded by Chamath Palihapitiya, raised $135 million in Series A funding led by Salesforce Ventures to automate software delivery for regulated enterprises. The company plans to use the capital for hiring, expanding its technical team, and investing in high-performance compute.

For practitioners watching the agentic coding space, the notable signal is capital concentrating around 'software factory' platforms that aim to automate the full delivery pipeline rather than just autocomplete code. 8090 Labs has raised a $135 million Series A led by Salesforce Ventures, the company announced on June 29, 2026, with participation from WndrCo, Craft Ventures, The Production Board, and angels including Nikesh Arora and Adam D'Angelo. Founder Chamath Palihapitiya, who started the Menlo Park company in January 2024, will take the chief executive role directly. 8090 positions its platform to design new systems, refactor legacy code bases, and automate software delivery for enterprises in highly regulated industries. The company says it will use the funds to hire, expand its technical team, and invest in high-performance compute. The raise lands amid a broad wave of funding for coding agents and AI development tools.
