About

What Investors Say

“As the frontier labs move up the stack, there’s an opportunity to offer customers an alternate path: unbundling their agents from the infrastructure they run on.” — Jerry Chen, Partner, Greylock 1

What Founders Say

“Everybody else is selling labor replacement intelligence. We’re selling software to agents, as opposed to humans.” — Sajid Mehmood, Co-Founder and CEO, Niteshift 1

“Everybody’s worried about getting stepped on by these giants.” — Sajid Mehmood, Co-Founder and CEO, Niteshift 1
