Voi Founders Launch AI Startup Pit, Secure Funding

Voi co-founders Fredrik Hjelm and Adam Jafer have launched Pit, a new AI startup based in Stockholm, securing $16 million in seed funding led by a16z. Pit aims to revolutionize enterprise AI by developing custom software to automate internal business processes, acting as an 'AI product team as a service.' The company differentiates itself with Pit Studio, allowing employees to guide AI software development, and Pit Cloud, ensuring enterprise-grade governance and auditability. Pit is initially focusing on back-office automation in sectors like telecom and healthcare, emphasizing productivity gains and improved work quality rather than job reduction.
