Zurich's Namespace Raises $42M Series B Led by Scale VP for AI Coding Agent Infrastructure

Namespace, the Zurich developer-infrastructure startup founded in 2022 by ex-Google principal engineer Hugo Santos, closed a $42M Series B led by Scale Venture Partners seven months after its Series A, with 20VC, NEA, Essence, Burst Capital, and Datadog CEO Olivier Pomel also participating. The company pitches itself as the infrastructure layer for AI coding agents, giving human developers and agents a shared backend for build-test-run workflows; it says it has 1,000+ customers including SpaceXAI, Ramp, Framer, ElevenLabs, and Vanta. Proceeds will expand its own compute and server fleet.
