Backed by Mischief and WndrCo, and founded by former Google, Meta, Uber, and Discord leaders, Crafting builds critical infrastructure for the most ambitious AI-first engineering teams SAN FRANCISCO, March 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crafting today announced the general availability of Crafting for Agents, alongside a $5.5 million seed round led by Mischief, with participation from WndrCo and a group of angel investors including Andy Manoske (CoreWeave), Arash Ferdowsi (former Dropbox), Lenny Rachitsky (Lenny’s Newsletter), Gokul Rajaram (former Meta, Square), Merrill Lutsky (Graphite), and other leading technical founders and operators. Engineering leaders at the forefront are increasingly turning to AI-generated code to scale output and increase velocity. In one recent survey, as much as 42% of code committed is currently AI-generated or assisted, a figure that is expected to increase to 65% by 2027.1 While in many organizations, autonomous agents are opening pull requests, monitoring repositories, and writing production code, validation is not keeping pace. Output has accelerated, and it’s merely creating a different slowdown. Enterprise infrastructure is too complex to replicate in a sandbox, so engineers remain a bottleneck before anything can ship. Crafting is purpose-built for engineers at AI-first companies operating complex, multi-service systems with real data and dependencies, including early customers Faire, Brex, Webflow, Verkada, Persona, and Instabase. “We started Crafting to alleviate many of the challenges we were experiencing ourselves as engineering leaders at leading AI-first tech companies,” said Sumeet Vaidya, Co-Founder and CEO, Crafting. “The companies scaling fastest right now are the ones removing bottlenecks safely and letting agents operate inside real infrastructure. With Crafting, teams can scale agent output without compromising enterprise-grade security.” Crafting for Agents allows agents to operate inside production-like environments...
