Chamath's 8090 Raises Series A for AI-Native Software Factory
Scobleizer · x · 2026-08-13
Chamath highlighted a shift in enterprise management structures: Gallup data shows the average number of direct reports per manager in the US jumped from 11 to 12 in a single year, the fastest pace in a decade. This reflects a corporate trend of cutting middle management, a structural change enabled by AI tools.
Simultaneously, 8090, an AI-native software development platform co-founded and led by Chamath, announced its Series A funding. Targeting regulated enterprises, its core product, the 8090 Software Factory, integrates human teams with AI agents to translate business intent into production code with full audit trails. The platform has already been used to modernize 18 million lines of Medicare claims code for CMS.
