SolveAI

SolveAI is a London-headquartered enterprise software company that builds context-aware AI coding tools. Its platform allows employees at large organisations — including operations, finance, supply chain, compliance and other non-engineering functions — to describe a needed internal tool in natural language rather than writing code, and receive a full-stack application in return.

The platform first captures an organisation's context: existing systems, data sources, system design conventions, security standards and compliance requirements. From that context it generates a structured proposal and technical design for the requested tool, which users review and iterate on, after which the system orchestrates AI components to build an application that integrates with the company's infrastructure and adheres to its governance standards. The stated aim is to move internal tools from concept to deployable, production-grade software without traditional development cycles or long IT ticket queues.

The company was incorporated in July 2025 and emerged from stealth in February 2026, disclosing $50 million raised across two rounds and a team of roughly 11-12 people.

Founding story

SolveAI was founded in July 2025 by Steve Basher, a first-time solo founder who previously spent eight years as an engineer at Palantir, where he worked on complex enterprise and government software deployments. Basher's premise was that AI coding output is of limited value without company-specific context, and that the people who best understand a business's problems — rather than only its engineers — should be able to build the software that solves them. He closed the company's pre-seed round on his own before building out a team.

Business model

SolveAI sells an enterprise platform to large organisations, positioning its output as production-ready software that integrates with a customer's existing infrastructure and meets its compliance and security requirements, rather than as prototypes for individual developers.

Traction

The company raised $50 million within roughly eight months of incorporation and had about 11-12 employees as of its February 2026 launch. No customer counts or revenue figures are disclosed in available reporting.

Latest developments

In February 2026 SolveAI came out of stealth, disclosing a $45 million Series A led by GV and a previously undisclosed $5 million Accel-led pre-seed. Investors also include Northzone, Mantis VC and NeverLift, plus angels Mike LoSapio (Palantir CISO), Pushmeet Kohli (Google DeepMind) and Olivier Godement (OpenAI). GV managing partner Tom Hulme joined as a backer, citing the nuance of how enterprises write and deploy software. Proceeds are earmarked for platform development, context-aware frameworks, hiring across engineering and product, and enterprise customer adoption.
