Namespace Labs Inc., a developer infrastructure company based in Zurich, said it raised $42 million in a Series B round led by Scale Venture Partners. NEA, 20VC, Essence, Burst Capital and Susa Ventures also participated. The announcement comes seven months after the company's Series A, which NEA led. Total funding now stands at $65 million.
Founded in 2022 by former Google engineer Hugo Santos, Namespace offers a compute stack built specifically for developer workloads. The platform runs artificial intelligence agents, developer tools, continuous integration, container builds and testing at high speeds. The company says this lets engineers move through the software lifecycle faster because the underlying compute can keep pace with demand.
The coding lifecycle has tightened as AI agents take on a larger role in software work. DevOps and continuous integration and delivery practices have shortened the path from feature to deployment, and testing cycles now compress delivery down to small feature requests. Developers often work on micro-versions that bundle multiple small changes daily or weekly before pushing them to production.
A 2025 DORA Report from Google LLC's Cloud division found that 16.2% of respondents deployed on demand, 6.5% deployed between hourly and daily, and 21.9% deployed between daily and weekly. That pace creates steady demand for compute capable of building, validating, testing and deploying without sacrificing quality. Generic cloud virtual machines can address durability, but they are not designed around developer tools, require configuration and monitoring, and are typically sold for enterprise scale rather than developer needs.
Namespace built its compute cloud for ephemeral storage and runs it with high-speed networking and cache support. It is also investing in Mac architecture, since many applications are built for MacOS and Apple hardware and run on iPhone and MacBook. Many infrastructure providers skip Mac, leaving most developers building for iOS or macOS to turn to specialized providers.
The company said the new funding will support expansion of its data centers, including its fleet of Mac hardware. Namespace supports multiple OS versions, including Sonoma, Sequoia, Tahoe and Golden Gate, and can handle up to 12 virtual central processing units and 56 gigabytes of memory. It currently supports build and test environments across Mac, Windows and Linux.
