Coframe, a startup that uses AI to rebuild websites for each visitor, has raised a $25 million Series A co-led by Khosla Ventures and Hanabi Capital, according to its own announcement dated November 9. Coframe says that brings its total funding to $35 million.
By our arithmetic, that leaves $10 million raised before the Series A, so the new round is 2.5x everything that came before it. Business Insider, which had the round as an exclusive, reports that the valuation was not disclosed.
Business Pill · Distribution Advantage
An evergreen Business Engineer explainer on distribution advantage. It teaches the general idea only and does not discuss Coframe’s round.
The key insight: Coframe says it raised a $25 million Series A co-led by Khosla Ventures and Hanabi Capital, bringing total funding to $35 million. By our arithmetic, the round is 2.5x the $10 million raised before it. Khosla told Business Insider that coding a page for every visitor has been too expensive and too slow.
Coframe frames the pitch around static websites. “Websites are built once, and they stay that way, static, one size fits all, forever”, its announcement says. The company says it is bringing “web, ads, mobile, in-product UI, email, and more, into one unified, self-improving, contextual loop”.
Business Insider reports that Coframe was founded in 2023 by Josh Payne. “Websites are static”, Payne told the outlet. “You build them once; they’re one size fits all, and then it takes a tremendous amount of effort to improve them over time”.
Conversion-rate increases Coframe says it delivered at Replit, Dropbox and Cash App, as reported by Business Insider. Company-stated figures, not independently verified.
What Was Posted on X
Business Insider: Vinod Khosla is betting that AI makes it cheap enough to build a separate web page for each visitor, a cost that kept websites static until now.
Khosla Ventures co-led Coframeโs $25M round to replace static websites with AI-generated pages for each visitor.
Rohan Paul summarised Business Insider’s report on X: Vinod Khosla is betting that AI makes a separate page per visitor cheap enough to build, and Khosla Ventures co-led Coframe’s $25 million round. Coframe’s own announcement says the round was co-led with Hanabi Capital.
Khosla’s Cost Argument
Vinod Khosla, whose firm also backed Coframe at the seed stage according to Business Insider, put the bet in cost terms. “The alternative is to write code for every page that’s presented, but that’s too expensive and way too slow”, he told the outlet. “This idea of a customized page for every user is a really good idea”.
He also told Business Insider that “AI has enabled extreme customization”. Rohan Paul’s post on X summarised the thesis the same way: AI makes a separate page per visitor cheap enough to build.
The Numbers Coframe Gives
Coframe says it “optimizes just over 0.1% of the internet” and is “driving brands $300 million in incremental revenue every year”. Business Insider reports Coframe’s customer list as including Dropbox, BCG, Block, Backcountry and Sur La Table.
Coframe also told Business Insider that conversion rates rose 158% at Dropbox, 410% at Replit and 60% at Cash App. By our arithmetic, the Replit figure is 2.6x the Dropbox one. Coframe’s blog quotes Dropbox’s customer acquisition lead: “We added conversion rate optimization to our Q3 plan and we were able to double pipeline”.
As we read it, the bet is that personalisation moves from testing a few page variants to generating a page per visitor, with the economics resting on the cost per generated page, a cost neither Coframe nor Business Insider puts a number on.

Three Implications
FOR MARKETERS Coframe says it already drives brands $300 million in incremental revenue a year; those are company figures, without baselines.
FOR THE AGENT ECONOMY Coframe predicts personal agents will make up the majority of internet traffic by 2029; that is its forecast.
FOR READING THE ROUND By our arithmetic, $25 million of the $35 million total arrived in this one round, 2.5x everything before it.
What Is Not Established
The conversion-rate lifts, the $300 million revenue figure and the 0.1% share of the internet are Coframe’s own figures; we have not seen independent verification, and Coframe does not give the baselines behind the percentage lifts. The valuation and the size of each co-lead’s cheque were not disclosed. The 2029 agent-traffic share is Coframe’s prediction. The $10 million and 2.5x figures are our arithmetic on Coframe’s stated totals.
This Week In The AI Supercycle
The Great Convergence of Capital, Power, and Geopolitics
This week’s issue: for two years the AI build-out was priced as a supply story, and last week as a credit story. This week it was priced as a permission story, and the answer arrived as a cost, not a ban.
Coframe says it raised a $25 million Series A co-led by Khosla Ventures and Hanabi Capital, for $35 million in total funding, which by our arithmetic makes the round 2.5x its prior funding. Khosla told Business Insider that coding a page for every visitor has been too expensive and too slow, and Coframe says AI now does it.
A note on sourcing. Facts come from Coframe’s own announcement and Business Insider’s report, both of 9 November 2026. Customer and revenue figures are Coframe’s; the $10 million, 2.5x and 2.6x figures are our arithmetic.
