Payments infrastructure for autonomous AI agents
About Natural
Natural is a San Francisco fintech building the payments stack for autonomous AI agents—wallets, vaults, pay/request/transfer rails, Connect marketplace primitives and forthcoming voice, accept, cards, charge, credit and billing products—so agents can send, receive and manage money with compliance, auditability and low-latency settlement rather than bolting onto human-centric rails. Co-founded by CEO Kahlil Lalji, Eric Wang and Walt Leung, Natural emerged in October 2025 with a $9.8 million seed co-led by Abstract and Human Capital (Forerunner, Terrain, Restive, Genius and others). In July 2026 Natural raised a $30 million Series A led by Forerunner’s Kirsten Green, with returning and new investors including Human Capital, Abstract, Genius Ventures, Torch Capital, Restive, SV Angel and operator angels, bringing total funding to over $40 million when the company was under 200 days old, to expand the agent payments product suite and hire aggressively.
