8090 raised a $135M Series A for its "Software Factory," a governed multiplayer platform where coordinated AI agents build and change enterprise software under human oversight, plus a delivery business that designs, builds, hosts, and operates custom systems for regulated-industry enterprises. Palihapitiya stepped in as CEO. Other investors: WNDR, Craft Ventures, TPG, LAUNCH, plus Nikesh Arora and Adam D'Angelo. Read Salesforce's participation as optionality.
