NanoCo develops NanoClaw, a secure alternative to OpenClaw that runs AI agents sandboxed in containers to limit access to services and credentials. The project went viral after endorsements from figures like Andrej Karpathy and high-profile attention, driving rapid community growth to thousands of users. Founders Gavriel and Lazer Cohen pivoted from their prior AI marketing startup to focus on NanoClaw full time and secured partnerships with Docker and Vercel. Early adopters have included technical executives at companies such as Amazon, Gap, Google, Meta, SentinelOne and Accenture. NanoCo has begun booking enterprise customers and offers implementation services (forward-deployed engineers) to help businesses roll out NanoClaw and provide ongoing support. The company raised an oversubscribed $12 million seed to support its expansion and continued product development.
