Reflex, a San Francisco-based enterprise software company, raised $14 million in a Series A funding round led by Standard Capital, with participation from Databricks Ventures, Y Combinator, Lux Capital and Abstract Ventures. The funding was reported on October 29, 2026.
Founded in 2023 by Nikhil Rao and Alek Petuskey, Reflex develops a platform that enables businesses to build, deploy and manage custom software applications. Rao serves as CEO, while Petuskey is the company’s CTO.
Reflex originated as an open-source Python web framework that allows developers to create full-stack applications without separately writing frontend JavaScript code. The company has since expanded into AI-assisted enterprise software development, helping organisations create applications tailored to their workflows, data and operational requirements.
Its platform combines AI-powered application development, enterprise data integrations and deployment infrastructure. Businesses can develop applications internally or work with Reflex engineers to build customised systems. The resulting software can be deployed in cloud or on-premises environments, with customers retaining ownership and control of their application code.
The company plans to use the Series A financing to expand its engineering and sales teams and develop additional enterprise capabilities. Reflex is also preparing Workflows, a product designed to use AI agents to automate multistep business operations.
Reflex previously announced a $5 million seed funding round in August 2023, led by Lux Capital, with participation from Abstract Ventures, BoxGroup, Y Combinator, Picus Capital and Outset Capital.
