Your intelligence. Your data. Any blockchain.

@yishan This misses how products win: owning the workflow, data loops, and distribution. Small startups can take risks, build hooks & network effects, verticalize use cases, route across multiple models, and adopt models platforms won’t. That freedom compounds.

Congrats Team 🚀

[Flox @floxdevelopment]

Big news today! 🎉

We’re thrilled to announce that Flox raised a $25M Series B led by Addition with @NEA, the @DEShawGroup @HetzVentures, and @IlluminateFM.

Our mission has always been to redefine how software is built and managed. With the recent funding, we’re able to focus on building the reproducible development infrastructure, delivering secure solutions that can handle the new, AI-driven scale and give enterprises trust in their code, whether it’s generated by humans or agents.

We see these first-hand:

🟣 Software supply chains are getting more complex.
🟣 Developers wrestle with layers of configs and fragile connections just to see their code run
🟣 All on top of an infrastructure that’s not ready for the wave of AI-generated code and the security challenges it brings.

Instead of building on that broken foundation, we’re replacing it.

With a declarative framework based on Nix, Flox gives developers reproducible environments that contain everything they need, spanning the entire software development lifecycle.

The result: faster builds, stronger trust, and a foundation that scales.

We’re already seeing 70% retention across a wide user base, from individual developers to teams of thousands. And we’re partnering across the ecosystem to bring Nix concepts to development teams all over the world.

This is just the beginning.

Big thanks to our users, investors, partners, community and the amazing team standing behind Flox.💜
