About

Factory is pioneering agent-native development, a new way of building software that keeps developers in control of the important high-level details while agents – or Droids – handle the coding. By shifting from autocomplete to delegation, Factory puts the orchestration and management of Droids into the hands of engineers and enables teams to ship faster, improve code quality, and embrace a new philosophy of working with AI. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in San Francisco, Factory is backed by investors including Sequoia Capital, NEA, NVIDIA, J.P. Morgan, Abstract Ventures, Mantis VC, SV Angel and BoxGroup.
