8090, founded in 2024 and based in Menlo Park, California, is building an AI-native software development platform focused on enterprise modernization. The company raised $135 million in a Series A funding round, signalling significant investor interest in its approach to software development. Its core proposition centres on placing documentation, collaboration, and oversight at the heart of how enterprise software is built.
The company's flagship product, Software Factory, is described as an AI-enabled software development lifecycle (SDLC) control plane. It integrates human teams and AI agents into a single system, enabling business leaders to define software requirements in plain English before code is generated. The platform emphasises control, visibility, and auditability throughout the development process.
8090 targets industries with complex regulatory and operational requirements, including healthcare, insurance, life sciences, aerospace, energy, manufacturing, financial services, and the United States government. The company's technical domains span AI-native software development, enterprise software modernisation, and AI-enabled SDLC orchestration.
