String AI is a New York-based web data infrastructure company founded in 2023 that gives AI agents and developers reliable, programmatic access to the public web. The company's core product handles the technical layers required to bypass bot-detection systems operated by companies such as Cloudflare, Akamai, and Datadome, enabling agents to retrieve structured data from websites without being blocked. The business crossed one million dollars in annual recurring revenue at the end of 2025, up from low six figures in 2024 and essentially zero in 2023. The company is profitable on a cash-flow basis, has not drawn on its seed capital, and carries approximately one million dollars in the bank. String AI raised a seed round of between one and two million dollars roughly one year before the August 2026 interview, backed by investors including Auren Hoffman, the founder of GLG, Zapier, and Charlie Songhurst. The company serves roughly 30 to 50 paying customers, with hedge funds representing the primary segment, and has recently launched a self-serve product to expand beyond that niche.
