NanoCo, the developer of NanoClaw—a security-focused alternative to OpenClaw—has raised $12 million in its initial seed funding round. The round was led by Valley Capital Partners, with participation from major investors including Docker, Vercel, Monday.com, Slow Ventures, and Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue. This is reported by Techcrunch.com reports .
According to project founder Gavriel Cohen, NanoClaw gained unexpected popularity within a few weeks. Six weeks after the initial code was written, influential figures such as Andrej Karpathy and the Singaporean Foreign Minister praised the project. This led to interest from dozens of investors and even a $20 million acquisition offer, which the Cohen brothers rejected.
Interest in the NanoClaw project surged significantly after Andrej Karpathy shared positive feedback on his X page. Later, the Singaporean Foreign Minister calling NanoClaw his "second brain" on Facebook further boosted the project's popularity. Currently, many tech executives and startup founders are expressing interest in investing in the project.
NanoClaw was originally created as a more secure alternative to the OpenClaw system. Instead of accessing all computer resources directly, it runs within a sandboxed environment. This method is becoming a modern and reliable solution for running AI agents securely.
