Solvera raises $6.3M pre-seed to build an AI-native MEP engineering firm
Announced · Published · By Contractor AI Shop
Oslo-based Solvera raised a $6.3 million pre-seed round led by Seedcamp. Instead of selling software, it acts as the engineering firm of record, starting with MEP design, with AI agents doing a growing share of the work and engineers making the judgment calls.
Key facts
- Clients pay for the outcome, not software licenses or consulting hours. Solvera
- Solvera says it passed $1 million in contracted revenue in its first three months and has a team of nine; that is a company claim. Solvera
- Norwegian contractor Betonmast is a named client on commercial projects. Tech.eu
- Funds go to the Oslo team, a London office and its operating system; TFN reports the UK is the next target market. Tech Funding News
Our take: what it means for contractors
Not a tool you can buy in the U.S. today. The signal is that investors are funding AI firms that replace the design consultant outright, not just another software seat. MEP subs and design-build GCs should watch whether this model shortens coordination cycles.
What we don't know yet
- Pricing to clients
- How much of the work agents actually do versus engineers
- Any U.S. licensing or market-entry plan
- Whether the $1M contracted-revenue figure holds up
