# Announcing Nozomio's $6.2M Seed Round

I started Nozomio in high school six months ago as an AI agent for codebases that could cross-reference multiple repos, answer questions, and help developers onboard themselves. I failed.

But I knew there was something in the agent space that every developer wants: **the right context.**

Right before my Y Combinator batch, I was struggling to give coding agents the right context. They missed versions, filled up the context window, and used incorrect frameworks. That is when I built the first iteration of Nia, which is now an augmentation layer for AI agents.

**Context is the most important problem in the agent space.** It prevents AI systems from achieving superhuman code intelligence, and I want to solve it.

The current state of Nia might change a thousand times, but the problem will stay the same. Even as an MCP, which is very novel and underdeveloped, Nia has already improved every coding agent by at least 30%. I am on the mission to 100x it.
