SolvaPay, a Stockholm-based AI payments platform, has closed a €2.4m ($2.8m) pre-seed funding round to develop what it describes as the world’s first payment infrastructure purpose-built for the agentic economy.
The round was led by European FinTech venture capital firm Redstone and Silicon Valley-based MS&AD Ventures, with additional participation from Antler and Greens Ventures, both of which are existing backers of Lovable.
The capital will be directed towards accelerating the development of SolvaPay’s machine-native payment rails and agentic revenue infrastructure.
SolvaPay argues that the existing financial infrastructure is fundamentally ill-suited to support this shift, pointing to fragmented digital ecosystems that prevent AI agents from freely negotiating and transacting across platforms. Its platform is designed to remove those barriers, allowing autonomous agents to spend, discover digital services, and complete transactions across the broader agentic economy.
SolvaPay’s payment infrastructure is designed to integrate natively into agent workflows, APIs, and applications, reducing friction between decision and transaction.
For SaaS companies, API providers, developers, and digital services, a single integration is intended to make products discoverable, accessible, and payable across platforms including Claude and ChatGPT, as well as any future AI ecosystems. The company says early adoption could give businesses a meaningful competitive advantage as agent-driven commerce accelerates.
SolvaPay CEO and co-founder Viggo Stenseth said, “Every major technological shift has needed a financial layer before it could become a real economy. The internet needed it. E-commerce needed it. Now, we’ve reached the same point with the agentic economy, but naturally the transaction types, the speeds, and the compliance required for this are impossible within the existing infrastructure. We’ve built what was missing. The timing is not early, it is exactly right.”
MS&AD managing partner Jon Soberg said, “As AI agents begin to transact autonomously, trust and reliability become just as important as speed and capability. SolvaPay sits directly in the flow of those transactions, which makes it a uniquely strategic position as new forms of digital risk emerge. We see this as an important building block for the next generation of the digital economy.”
