Other investors include Signal Peak Ventures, Sugar Capital, Crosscut, and industry expert Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare. The new capital brings Nostra AI's total raised funds to $20M.

Nostra AI aims to scale these successes by integrating with Shopify and Salesforce, two leading platforms in the e-commerce industry.
The Edge Delivery Engine™ optimizes web content by analyzing elements like shopping carts and caching specific parts, leading to reduced page load times. Additionally, Nostra AI’s Crawler Optimization improves how bots interact with websites, which helps improve SEO and online visibility.
