Natural raises $30M to power AI agents with Stripe‑challenging payment stack
Natural closed a $30 million Series A at a $150 million valuation, led by Forerunner Ventures. The startup is releasing a suite of FDIC‑insured wallets, vaults, and APIs that let autonomous AI agents move, receive, and spend money without human approval, directly competing with Stripe’s merchant infrastructure. The funding accelerates its rollout of credit, billing, and card products.
