We raised a $135M Series A!

8090’s Series A was led by Salesforce Ventures and joined by WNDR, Craft Ventures, The Production Board, and LAUNCH.

We also had the support of a group of esteemed angels including Nikesh Arora, Cliff Robbins, Adam D’Angelo, Shyam Ravindran, Abhi Arun, and Thomas Laffont.

We’re grateful for their support. It validates 8090’s mission and traction so far, but mostly it accelerates the work ahead.

The capital will go to two places. The first is hiring more people, because the demand we have is accelerating rapidly. The second is investing in the compute and infrastructure needed to keep delivering our solutions at high quality and reliability.

8090 works with the biggest, hardest, most demanding customers in the most regulated industries: healthcare, insurance, life sciences, aerospace, energy, manufacturing, financial services, and the United States government. We help them win by using our AI-enabled Software Factory to design and build entire new systems, refactor old ones, and find and accelerate their edge.

Our view is that as Software Factory is used more and more to do mission-critical work inside industries with the least tolerance for error and the most oversight, it will be used to bring transparency, consistency and control to work everywhere.

And as we expand the potential of the biggest organizations, we are also building a playbook and a series of network effects into Software Factory that will be valuable to everyone, from SMBs to solo founders.

With much gratitude, back to work…

PS - A note on why I am doing this as CEO, rather than from the board.

This is one of those rare moments when the technological ground is moving so ferociously underneath all of us that the decisions made in the next few years will set the stage for the next twenty.

AI can be the grand equalizer. It is the thing that can give everybody a shot, and I would like to help it achieve that potential. Since I left Facebook, I was waiting for a moment like this to return to a full-time operating role. I was a demanding manager back then, but I felt I had no choice given how powerful and undeniable what we were building was. I am convinced that what we are building now is even more important, so there was no decision to make except to be all in.

[8090 @8090_Factory]

A demo can't tell you if a tool survives contact with your own codebase.

So we made Software Factory free for 30 days. Your team included, no charge until you renew.

A new paradigm for software development. Free for 30 days. Give it a try.

Why is this such a big deal? We already have several agents we can tag on Slack!
https://t.co/6XVNKt5GSU

[Slack @SlackHQ]

The reason this 3rd paradigm works: the infrastructure was already there. Slack was purpose-built for open, shared work — where teams, tools, and context live together, and collaborate in the open. AI doesn't change how work happens — we just gave it a home where AI actually works.

We’re building the ultimate AI slop-stopper app for serious teams building serious software.

@RealQuis_ @DailyLoud In that case, they would burn their engines long enough such that their velocity exceeds earth's escape velocity, after which they will be on a trajectory to mars

@RealQuis_ @DailyLoud The spacecraft and moon are still in earth orbit so they are moving with the earth

Finding this much easier than going cold turkey. Allows you to attend to any important notifications early in the morning (after the first hour) without sacrificing focus.

[Abhi @anonabhi]

Limit your non-critical device exposure in increments of 1-2-3-...n hours everyday. The hour right after waking prevents being bombarded by slop in the morning and is the hardest increment. The subsequent intervals don't feel nearly as hard. Increase increment size with time.

@luke_leisher_ @FFairing @IMAO_ More volcanoes on the near side because of tidal effects from Earth?

@SpainGreatAgain @NASAAdmin If you read the Artemis mission outline, you'll know that all of those things are planned for 2027 and beyond. This is just the first step!

@RigelOrionBeta @FrancoisOlwage @USA_Polling W ragebait

[Abhi @anonabhi]

@RigelOrionBeta @FrancoisOlwage @USA_Polling Ok and then what? If you give away all your equity the govt doesn’t magically have cash it can spend on social programs. It’d have to sell the equity to get cash (presumably to some private buyer or another govt). So now you just gave away your equity to some rando for free.

[Abhi @anonabhi]

@RigelOrionBeta @FrancoisOlwage @USA_Polling Ownership in companies is fundamental for capitalism lol regardless of public stock market. You want the govt to take 100% of your equity after $1B?
