- Natural
Participated · Series A · Jul 2026
Natural builds payment infrastructure that lets autonomous AI agents execute financial actions such as paying vendors, collecting payments, and transacting with other agents or humans. The startup redesigns financial rails to support agent-initiated transactions that traditional systems (credit cards, ACH) were not built for. Founded in 2025 by Kahlil Lalji with co-founders including Eric Wang and Walt Leung, Natural has operated in beta while making core architectural decisions. The company plans to support both traditional bank payments and USD-backed stablecoins as part of its architecture. Natural has attracted senior talent from fintech firms like Stripe, Ramp, and Square to accelerate product development. With $40 million in total funding after the Series A, the company is positioning itself to compete with incumbents such as Stripe and emerging rivals in the agentic payments space.

Supper provides a self-serve data platform that integrates directly with SaaS tools and data warehouses, automatically cleanses and normalizes information, and builds a semantic layer so anyone at a company can query data in plain language. Its agent suite can answer business questions, construct complex dashboards, and support research projects, eliminating the need for engineers and analysts to handle ad-hoc SQL requests.

Co-founded by Lowell Putnam (previously founded Quovo, acquired by Plaid) and Andrew Salamon (co-founder of Hims & Hers), the New York-based startup targets high-growth companies that struggle with fragmented, unreliable data access.
