Browserbase has raised $67.5M in total funding in just 15 months (!!) since founding the company. Existing investors include big Silicon Valley funds like Kleiner Perkins, CRV, Basecase, and more.


Paul shares how Browserbase is powering the next generation of AI agents and “vibe coders” by providing programmable, cloud-hosted browser infrastructure—what he calls “Twilio for headless browsers.”
