Boxd Raises $2M for AI Coding Agent Cloud Infrastructure

Dutch startup Boxd has raised $2 million in a pre-seed funding round to develop its cloud computing infrastructure designed for developers and AI coding agents. The round was led by BlueYard Capital, with participation from OVNI Capital, Antler, S20, Script Capital, and business angels from General Intuition and other tech companies. Boxd provides hardware-isolated virtual machines that allow AI agents to execute code, run tests, and manage workflows, with features like snapshotting and live-forking in under 100 milliseconds. The company aims to address the infrastructure demands of parallel AI coding agents, offering persistent, secure environments compared to traditional containers. The funding will be used to expand the team and further develop its custom virtualization engine.
