TLDR: Nexxa.ai, an AI-native company based in Sunnyvale, CA, has successfully raised $4.4 million in pre-seed funding. The round was led by a16z speedrun and will be used to expand engineering resources and market reach for its AI solutions aimed at industrial engineers.
Sunnyvale, CA – Nexxa.ai, a pioneering AI-native company dedicated to transforming operations for industrial engineers in digital environments, announced today the successful closure of a $4.4 million pre-seed funding round. The investment, finalized on July 21, 2025, was spearheaded by Andreessen Horowitz’s a16z speedrun, with significant participation from a diverse group of investors including Augment Ventures, Propeller Ventures, Plug and Play, Beat Ventures, SBI, Untapped Ventures, Cross Atlantic Angels, and angel investors Rick Berry and Pat McCarthy.
Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, Nexxa.ai is focused on improving the automation landscape through its flagship product, Full Self Computing. This solution leverages cognitive Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to streamline complex business processes. The company’s innovative approach involves deploying specialized AI agents that seamlessly integrate with customers’ existing software, such as engineering tools and estimating systems, allowing for accelerated work without requiring a complete system overhaul.
According to Philipp Wehn, co-founder and CEO of Nexxa.ai, the timing for such investment is critical. “Having worked in industrials for over a decade, I believe that there has never been a more critical time to invest in technology that can have a real impact on our infrastructure,” Wehn stated. He added, “Our goal is to build an AI approach that can understand and learn deeply technical operations from scratch. We are excited to bring on this additional capital and institutional guidance to accelerate our AI development.”
Nexxa.ai addresses a significant market need, as over 4 million industrial engineers globally still depend on fragmented, in-house developed software systems and manual processes for their operations. The company’s pay-per-use model, with no upfront costs, offers flexibility and scalability, making process optimization tools accessible to businesses of all sizes.
The company has demonstrated impressive growth, reporting two consecutive quarters of 3x growth in booked annual contract value (ACV) in 2025. This rapid expansion caught the attention of investors, including a16z speedrun, which also selected Nexxa.ai for its elite accelerator program, speedrun Badge 5, providing access to a comprehensive AI ecosystem, infrastructure support, and go-to-market expertise.
Troy Kirwin, a partner at a16z speedrun, expressed strong confidence in Nexxa.ai’s potential. “Nexxa is shaping the future of industrial engineering with an execution-focused approach to AI. The potential of Nexxa is enormous – and they are just getting started,” Kirwin commented. Mario Mattern, Head of Portfolio Management, Partnering and Startups at Siemens Mobility, also lauded Nexxa.ai, noting, “Nexxa demonstrates strong potential through its focus on AI for industrial engineering and its ability to connect with existing software systems.”
