Strawberry is a Swedish startup, based in Stockholm, building an agentic AI-powered browser designed to take repetitive web work off knowledge workers' plates. The founders' premise is that every desk worker loses hours each week to manual browser tasks: sourcing leads, digging through emails, and copying data between tools. Strawberry's answer is a browser where automation is native rather than bolted on.
At the heart of the product is the concept of AI Companions, specialized agents that reside inside the browser and execute multi-step tasks by clicking, scrolling, and typing, exactly as a human would. Because the agents operate visually within the browser, users can automate workflows such as sorting emails, copying meeting notes into a CRM, or sourcing prospect lists without writing any code, lowering the barrier for non-technical users to build their own automations.
Strawberry was founded by Charles Maddock, Sebastian Thunman, and Arian Hanifi, who set out to make advanced AI automation intuitive enough for everyday knowledge workers rather than developers. The company launched its agentic browser alongside its first institutional funding.
The company raised $6 million in a seed round co-led by General Catalyst and EQT Ventures, with participation from the founders of Lovable, Hugging Face, and Supabase, an investor base that reflects strong conviction from operators in the AI and developer-tools world. That angel roster gives Strawberry both credibility and a network as it competes in the crowded agentic-browser space.
Strawberry positions itself against other browser-based agent products by emphasizing intuitiveness and the Companion model: persistent, in-browser agents that anyone can point at a task. As browsers become a primary surface for AI agents, Strawberry is betting that the winning interface is one where automation feels as natural as browsing itself.
