Oslo-based AI-native engineering firm Solvera raises €5.62 million pre-Seed after July 2026 launch

Solvera, an Oslo-based AI-native engineering firm targeting the construction industry, has secured €5.62 million in pre-Seed funding. The round was led by Seedcamp and joined by Construct Venture, Inception Fund, Momentum, Obos Ventures, PSV Tech, Sondo, The Nordic Web Ventures, and angel investors such as Spacemaker founders Anders Kvåle and Håvard Haukeland.

Solvera's mission is to free up engineers' time by automating many aspects of their work, allowing them to focus on high-impact decisions. The company's AI agents handle tasks like testing alternatives, coordination, and production work, while experienced building engineers provide the crucial judgment.

Founded by Arif Mirza, Pål Rasmussen, and Thorvald Thorsnes in July 2026, Solvera combines human expertise with proprietary AI technology to design and coordinate building engineering work, starting with MEP systems. The company's operating system enables it to deliver end-to-end engineering services, with clients paying for the outcome rather than software licenses or consulting hours.

Unlike traditional delivery models, Solvera's system improves with every project, as its AI agents learn from the experience and judgment of the building engineers. The company plans to use the capital to expand its team in Oslo, establish a London office, and accelerate the development of its operating system. Solvera aims to expand into additional markets as its model matures.
