London-based
SolveAI, a platform that enables employees to build compliant enterprise
software without writing code, has raised a $45 million Series A led by GV
alongside a previously undisclosed $5 million pre-seed round led by Accel.
Northzone, Mantis VC, and NeverLift also participated, along with angel
investors including Mike LoSapio, CISO of Palantir, Pushmeet Kohli, and Olivier
Godement.
As
AI-powered low- and no-code tools gain traction, many remain geared toward
developers, hobbyists, or small teams operating outside the constraints of
large enterprises. Larger organisations typically require applications that
integrate with legacy systems, run on existing infrastructure, comply with
strict governance standards, and scale reliably.
As a
result, employees closest to day-to-day inefficiencies – across operations,
sales, finance, and frontline roles – often lack the ability to build tools
tailored to their workflows and data environments. This can leave companies
reliant on outsourced custom software that is costly to maintain and slow to
adapt.
Founded
in July 2025 by former Palantir engineer Steve Basher, SolveAI is designed to
address this gap. The platform enables employees across departments to use
natural language to generate proposals, designs, and fully functional
applications that integrate with existing IT infrastructure and meet security
and compliance requirements.
It first
produces a written proposal outlining the recommended solution, its rationale,
and planned features, along with a technical specification covering
implementation steps such as data integration and algorithmic considerations.
Teams can iterate on the proposal, after which SolveAI orchestrates specialised
AI agents responsible for different stages of the development lifecycle,
including UX, frontend, and backend, ultimately generating a complete custom
software product.
Commenting
on the development, Steve Basher, CEO and founder of SolveAI, said
organisations see the greatest impact when technology is tailored to their
specific needs. He noted that while enterprises are eager to capitalise on the
AI coding wave, few products fully reflect the complexity, regulatory demands,
and scale at which large companies operate.
SolveAI
puts the power to build software directly in the hands of the people closest to
the problems, without compromising security or compliance,
Basher added.
The
approach is intended to support faster innovation while maintaining enterprise
controls, reduce pressure on developer and IT teams, and decrease reliance on
legacy custom applications. Companies in sectors such as manufacturing, retail,
and financial services are already exploring the platform to accelerate
internal development in complex technical environments.
With the
new funding, SolveAI plans to continue expanding its platform capabilities and
scaling adoption across enterprise customers.
