Pit focuses on enterprise AI automation, setting itself apart with customizable software solutions.

Swedish startup Pit has secured $16 million in seed funding led by venture capital firm a16z. The company, co-founded by former Voi CEO Fredrik Hjelm and ex-iZettle engineers, is setting its sights on enterprise AI automation. Adam Jafer, who left Voi last summer to lead Pit, sees the potential for AI to significantly enhance business processes through customizable software solutions.

For builders and operators, this represents a new player in the crowded market of AI-driven tools that can help streamline internal operations. Unlike many competitors focused on chatbots or vibe-coding products, Pit aims to provide ‘AI product team as a service,’ enabling businesses to automate their workflows more effectively and efficiently.

Currently testing its platform with pilot customers across telecom, healthcare, and logistics, Pit is emphasizing the automation of back-office processes. This approach could give enterprise teams more time to focus on core business activities while reducing operational overhead.

With Pit’s recent funding round, the company is poised for further growth and expansion into new markets. Watch for updates on its platform development and potential partnerships with larger enterprises.
