Kahlil Lalji

I'm the CEO and Co-founder of Natural, where we're building payments infrastructure for AI agents.

We've raised over $40M from Forerunner, Human Capital, Abstract, Bridge, Brex, Mercury, Privy, Vercel, Notion, Increase, Unit, Figure, and so many others.

Before Natural, I co-founded Ivella, a YC-backed fintech company before joining EarnIn in 2024. Before that, my career took a less linear path. I edited esports videos professionally at 13, led brand and content for some of the largest creators on the internet at 18, and signed an artist to Columbia Records at 21.

I consider Los Angeles home, but I'm living in San Francisco for this chapter of my life. Natural is here, and right now, building the company asks for nearly all of me.

Outside of work, I run seriously, invest regularly, and try to remain connected to my body. The older I get, the more important that last part feels.
