SolveAI raises $50M to help employees build their own enterprise software
- ByStartupStory | February 26, 2026
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.
