SolvaPay, a Stockholm-based AI payments startup, today announced that it has raised €2.4 million ($2.8 million) in pre-Seed funding to build out its new payment infrastructure platform, built for agentic commerce.
The round was led by European FinTech VC Redstone and Silicon Valley-based MS&AD Ventures, with participation from Antler and Greens Ventures, both investors in Lovable.
“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,” said Viggo Stenseth, CEO and co-founder, SolvaPay.
Founded in 2025, SolvaPay is building the payment infrastructure for the agentic economy, enabling seamless transactions between AI agents and digital services. It allows businesses to participate in autonomous marketplaces and unlock new revenue streams in AI-native environments by embedding payments directly into agent workflows.
According to the company, today’s digital services facilitate smooth transactions, but only within isolated ecosystems. This fragmentation hinders AI agents from engaging, negotiating, and transacting across different platforms.
SolvaPay claims to remove these barriers, enabling agents to spend autonomously and allowing digital services to be discovered, accessed, and paid for across the emerging agentic economy.
The startup notes that its payment infrastructure is built to be compatible with how agents actually work, integrating natively into workflows, APIs, and applications to remove friction between decision and transaction, with payments occurring seamlessly inside the experience.
For SaaS companies, API providers, developers, and digital services around the globe, a single integration ensures that any product or service is easily discoverable, accessible, and payable across Claude, ChatGPT, and all emerging AI ecosystems, states SolvaPay.
Since every new agent could turn into a buyer, early adoption provides businesses with a crucial edge in the quickly expanding agentic economy.
“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,” said Jon Soberg, Managing Partner, MS&AD.
With the fresh funding, the company plans to accelerate the development of its machine-native payment rails and agentic revenue infrastructure.
