NanoClaw creator NanoCo lands $12 million in Seed funding to build enterprise AI agents
Open-source startup says its AI agents are already used by executives at Amazon, Google and Meta.
NanoCo, the company behind NanoClaw, an open-source platform for secure AI agents, has raised $12 million in Seed funding. At the same time, the company announced the launch of a professional AI assistant designed for enterprise organizations.
NanoCo was founded in early 2026 by brothers Gavriel Cohen, CEO, and Lazer Cohen. Gavriel holds degrees in computer science and physics and built NanoClaw from scratch, while his brother Lazer Cohen built dozens of recognized brands as the founder of Concrete Media. The company, which has official partnerships with Docker and Vercel, currently employs 10 people.
The funding was led by Valley Capital Partners, with participation from Docker, Vercel, monday.com, Slow Ventures, Clutch Capital, Factorial Capital and Clem Delangue, CEO of Hugging Face. NanoClaw has reached nearly 29,000 GitHub stars since its open source launch in February and is being used by executives at companies like Amazon, Gap, Google, Meta, SentinelOne and Accenture.
Unlike traditional AI assistants that primarily answer questions, NanoClaw’s agents are designed to perform tasks on behalf of employees, from drafting contracts and managing customer workflows for sales teams to reviewing code for developers. The system learns each employee’s role, adapts to individual work styles, and builds an ongoing understanding of projects, teams, and software tools over time.
"Countless enterprise executives have told us the same thing," said Gavriel Cohen, co-founder and CEO of NanoCo. "They're running NanoClaw personally, getting two and three times more done, and asking how to roll it out to their teams. They've figured out where the value actually lives: an agent has to be able to work inside the most sensitive parts of a business. Their email. Their customer records. NanoClaw was the version they could safely use themselves without trading security for functionality. NanoCo is allowing them to give that same unlock to everyone across the organization."
