NanoClaw 创始人拒绝2000万美元收购，融资1200万美元种子资金，打造安全AI代理

做的是什么生意

NanoCo sells NanoClaw, a security-focused, MIT-licensed open-source AI agent platform that runs assistants in sandboxed containers, plus managed enterprise deployment and support.

启动资金：$12M oversubscribed seed led by Valley Capital Partners (2026), with Docker, Vercel, Monday.com, Slow Ventures, Clutch Capital, Factorial Capital and angels including Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue

起因

Gavriel Cohen, a former Wix engineer, wrote NanoClaw's first line of code on January 29, 2026, after the OpenClaw-style agents running his and brother Lazer's AI marketing agency felt powerful but dangerously unguarded. He built a deliberately small, container-sandboxed alternative and released it under the MIT License on January 31.

经过

Endorsements from AI researcher Andrej Karpathy and then Singapore's foreign minister, who called NanoClaw his 'second brain,' made it viral. The Cohens declined a six-figure offer and then a roughly $20 million acquisition, shut down their agency, and closed an oversubscribed $12 million seed led by Valley Capital Partners — under six weeks from the first line of code.

结果

By May 2026 NanoClaw had about 250,000 downloads and roughly 30,000 GitHub stars, with executives at Amazon, Google, Meta, Gap, SentinelOne and Accenture using it. NanoCo, based in Tel Aviv with about ten employees, began selling per-agent, per-month managed deployments and 'forward-deployed engineer' implementation services to enterprises.

可借鉴之处

病毒式的开源需求不算生意，除非有人销售困难的部分：NanoCo 将托管安全、部署和支持变现——将2000万美元的收购报价视为下限，而非上限。
