/dev/agents is building the "Android for AI agents" — a cloud OS for trusted AI agents across any device.

• $56M seed led by Index Ventures, co-led by CapitalG
• Angels: Scale AI CEO, OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy
• Zero revenue, 4 ex-Big Tech co-founders

How it happened:
• David Singleton (ex-Stripe CTO) identified agent fragmentation in 2022
• Recruited Hugo Barra (ex-Meta VR VP) as co-founder
• Added Android founding team members Ficus Kirkpatrick, Nicholas Jitkoff
• Leveraged OS experience to pitch platform solution
• Closed oversubscribed round through Index partner's 9-year relationship
