CLI joins Natural as Chief Compliance and Regulatory Officer. She was the first regulatory hire at Square, Stripe, and Ramp, where she most recently served as Chief Compliance Officer of Ramp Payments Corporation.
Natural introduces its agentic payments platform for moving money among agents, businesses, and consumers. The company says it aims to make these transfers frictionless and begins with a one-page concept and 15-page memo, without a deck, code, or mockups. Natural says its vision draws enough excitement to raise a seed round within 72 hours, backed by founders and investors.
Natural raises a .8 million seed round to build a payments ecosystem for agents. The company says existing payment systems are built around human-to-human interaction, while agents lack the infrastructure to transact with consumers, businesses, and other agents. Natural says it is building a new way for agents to engage financially with the broader world.
