Natural Fireside Chat with Kahlil Lalji
Natural is coming to USC.
Join us for a fireside chat with Kahlil Lalji, Founder & CEO of Natural. Natural is building payments for AI agents, and it has raised over $40M from Forerunner, Human Capital, Abstract, Brex, Mercury, Vercel, Bridge, and Notion.
Kahlil edited esports videos professionally at 13, ran brand work for big internet creators at 18, and signed an artist to Columbia Records at 21. He went on to co-found a YC-backed fintech that was acquired by EarnIn.
For Natural, he raised a $9.8M seed within 72 hours of sharing a memo. Then he raised a $30M Series A led by Forerunner just 193 days after founding.
We’ll talk about
→ Building and selling his first company
→ Building Natural from day one, and what agentic payments actually means
→ Brand, taste and how he builds a team
→ Poker, Ironmans and designing your life
→ What he’d do if he were a student today
We’ll leave time for audience Q&A.
