SolveAI, a London-based startup building a no-code automated software development platform, has raised $45m (£33.3m) Series A round led by Google Ventures.

Alongside the new funding round, SolveAI has also announced a previously undeclared $5m (£3.7m) seed investment led by Accel.

Founded in 2025 by former Palantir engineer Steve Basher, SolveAI has built its platform for enterprise software development, with the goal of helping business rapidly create custom software.

AI has in recent years become a popular tool to generate code for new software, a practice referred to as “vibe coding”, but SolveAI said that code-generation tools do not account for the unique context of enterprises, rarely leading to apps and software that fits their precise needs.

“Magic happens when companies get the exact technology they need. Enterprises are desperate to capitalise on the AI coding revolution, but nobody has built a product that reflects their reality – complex systems, strict standards, and global scale,” said Basher.

“SolveAI puts the power to build software directly in the hands of the people closest to the problems, without compromising security or compliance. Think about all the things you could achieve if your IT team could be everywhere at once: SolveAI makes this a reality.”

SolveAI’s development tools specifically work for enterprise use as they allow integration with legacy systems and comply with governance requirements. The startup also promises apps made from its platform can be maintained at scale.

Google Ventures was joined in backing the Series A round by Northzone, Mantic VC, NeverLift and angels.

“Most AI coding tools force enterprises to choose between speed and security. SolveAI doesn’t,” said Tom Hulme, managing partner and head of Europe at Google Ventures.

“Steve and the team are building something genuinely different. They will unlock the ability for companies to move fast with AI while working within the constraints that matter: real security, real compliance, real infrastructure.”
