Jordi Romero: Factorial's $150M Raise & AI Agent Pivot
Factorial founder and CEO Jordi Romero announces a $150M Series D led by General Catalyst plus $540M from GC's customer value fund. He explains the company's pivot from a decade-old SaaS business to shipping AI agents for HR, finance, and IT across 16,000+ customers, describing how "rogue" employees experimenting with AI were spotted, promoted, and scaled company-wide. He argues AI makes employees more valuable rather than justifying layoffs, mentions the company's "Paperwork" single on Spotify, and says the new capital will mainly fund acquisitions of solid software companies that currently can't raise money.
