$2.5m · Other round · Software · Oslo, Norway
Oslo-based Visoid has raised $2.5m in financing led by Skyfall Ventures, with existing investors StartupLab, OBOS and Antler joined by Farvatn Venture and the byFounders Angel Collective. Skyfall described the transaction as a seed round, while Tech.eu’s canonical record classifies it as Other; this brief therefore uses the approved Other round website tag. Norwegian publication Shifter reported the announcement on 10 August 2026 and attributed the financing details to a Visoid press release.
Founded in 2023 by former architect Mark Szoke and entrepreneur Joachim Blaafjell Holwech, Visoid builds AI-powered visualisation software for architects. Its web product works from sketches, images and existing 3D models, while add-ons connect Revit, SketchUp and Archicad workflows directly to the platform. The company says users can turn those inputs into presentation-ready renders in minutes and explore materials, lighting and design variations without rebuilding the underlying project.
Moving visualisation into the design loop
Traditional architectural rendering is often treated as a late production step because specialist setup and long iteration cycles make it expensive to repeat. Visoid’s commercial proposition is to move that work earlier: if an architect can generate and compare visuals while massing, materials and site choices are still fluid, rendering becomes part of design decision-making rather than only a final communication layer. Keeping the architect’s own model as the input is central to that pitch because a visually persuasive image is less useful when it drifts away from the design being evaluated.
That workflow focus also gives Visoid several routes into a practice. Individual architects can begin with a self-serve subscription, teams can share projects and rendering credits, and enterprise customers can buy a managed plan. Native links to common design tools reduce the cost of moving a project between systems. The expansion challenge is to keep those integrations reliable and preserve design intent as customers use the product across more project types and larger teams.
Skyfall says thousands of paying users in more than 120 countries have produced over five million renders in just over two years, with customers ranging from solo practices to large architecture firms. Those are investor-reported figures, but they show why the round is aimed at both product depth and distribution. Shifter reported that Visoid planned to double its nine-person team by year-end, while other reporting says the capital will support engineering, product and commercial hiring, international customer acquisition and partnerships with architecture and design firms.
