How SolveAI is Enabling Every Employee to Create Their Own Enterprise Software

SolveAI, helping you build enterprise software through conversation, led by Steve Basher and the team, has raised a $45M Series A led by GV and a previously unannounced $5M pre-seed round led by Accel. Northzone, Mantis VC, and Never Lift also participated in the round, along with angel investors including Mike LoSapio, CISO of Palantir, Pushmeet Kohli, and Olivier Godement. The funding will support team growth, expand global enterprise partnerships, and enhance the platform’s capabilities.

Founded in London in July 2025 by former Palantir engineer Steve Basher, SolveAI helps employees build production-ready enterprise software. Unlike generic AI code generators, the platform leverages each organization’s unique context to create solutions that move beyond the prototype stage.

Using natural language, employees from any department can create proposals, designs, and fully functional applications that integrate with existing IT systems while meeting security and compliance standards, democratizing problem-solving across the enterprise.

SolveAI, seven months old, helps companies in manufacturing, retail, and finance tackle complex software challenges. The 12-person team, with experience from Palantir, ElevenLabs, and Meta, plans to quadruple headcount in 2026.

Most AI low- and no-code tools target developers or small teams, leaving enterprise employees, operators, sales, finance, and operations staff unable to build apps that fit their workflows. This reliance on outsourced software is costly, slow, and often misaligned with actual business needs.

SolveAI closes this gap by first generating a written proposal and technical specification, outlining the approach, features, data integration, and algorithms. Teams can iterate on the plan, after which specialized AI agents handle each phase of development, UX, front-end, back-end, and more, delivering a complete custom software product in minutes.

The outcome is faster innovation within enterprise controls, reduced IT and developer backlogs, and less reliance on slow, legacy software. SolveAI integrates with major platforms like SAP, Salesforce, GitHub, Snowflake, and ServiceNow, supporting the full software development lifecycle from planning to deployment and maintenance.

Steve Basher, CEO and founder of SolveAI, said, “Magic happens when companies get technology that matches their reality. Enterprises want to harness AI coding, but existing tools don’t account for complex systems, strict standards, and global scale. SolveAI empowers those closest to the problems to build software directly, without compromising security or compliance, effectively letting IT be everywhere at once.”

Tom Hulme, Managing Partner and Head of Europe at GV, said: “Most AI coding tools force enterprises to choose between speed and security. SolveAI doesn’t. The team is enabling companies to move fast with AI while maintaining real security, compliance, and infrastructure, putting software-building power directly in the hands of those closest to the problems.”

Cecilia Wang, investor at Accel, said: “The future of enterprise software will be shaped not just by developers, but by the employees who use it daily. SolveAI enables these teams to safely integrate AI into their workflows, prioritizing governance and security within complex legacy systems. With decades of combined experience, Steve and the team are scaling custom software and high-touch engineering, helping enterprises realize real value from internal AI projects.”
