$700k · Pre-Seed · AI · Tallinn, Estonia
Tallinn-based bilt.me has raised $700k in pre-seed funding to expand its AI platform for building native mobile apps. Tech.eu reports that Superhero Capital led the round, with Bolt founder Markus Villig and Lightyear co-founder Martin Sokk participating. The company says it will use the capital for global expansion and further product development.
Founded in August 2025 by Uku Joost Annus, Kevin Akkermann and Karl Kiilaspää, bilt.me grew out of a Tallinn hackathon project. Its service turns a plain-language description into a React Native app that can be previewed on a phone and prepared for launch on iOS or Android. The company has also built payments, cloud and sharing layers around the generator.
The product has to carry builders beyond the first prompt
Generating a first version is only one part of launching a mobile business. Builders still have to connect data and payments, test on devices, handle store distribution and keep the product working after release. By bundling those steps, bilt.me is trying to own a longer workflow than code generation alone. That can make the platform more useful and harder to replace if projects remain on its cloud, payments and publishing rails.
The same structure sets a demanding product test. As model-assisted coding becomes cheaper and more widely available, bilt.me will need to show that its generated apps are reliable enough to publish and that its supporting services save more work than they add. The company's product changelog shows it has added collaborative building, Figma imports and alternatives to app-store distribution, suggesting the team is broadening the workflow around creation rather than relying on prompting as the whole product.
Early traction raises the execution bar
According to Tech.eu, bilt.me has passed six figures in annual recurring revenue and doubled revenue month over month for three consecutive months. The company reports thousands of builders, with roughly 75% creating consumer apps and 25% making private or internal tools; it also says paying apps built on the platform are live in Apple's App Store and Google Play.
Those figures are company-supplied and early, but they give the new financing a clear benchmark. International expansion will matter only if more builders reach a working, distributed app and keep paying after the initial build. The next evidence to watch is therefore not prompt volume alone, but published products, retained builders and revenue that persists after launch.
