SolvaPay, a Stockholm-based AI payments platform, has raised €2.4 million in pre-seed funding to develop payment infrastructure for the emerging era of agentic commerce. 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. As digital services continue to evolve, existing payment systems remain largely confined to closed ecosystems, limiting interoperability and preventing AI agents from freely interacting and transacting across platforms.

SolvaPay addresses this challenge by enabling AI agents to discover, access, and pay for digital services seamlessly, supporting autonomous economic activity across the emerging agentic economy. The company’s infrastructure is designed to integrate directly into workflows, APIs, and applications, allowing payments to occur seamlessly within the user experience. Through a single integration, SaaS providers, API developers, and digital service companies can make their products discoverable, consumable, and payable across AI ecosystems such as Claude and ChatGPT, as well as future agent-based environments.

ViggoStenseth, CEO and co-founder of SolvaPay, commented: 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.

SolvaPay’s founding team brings more than five decades of combined experience across financial services and technology companies, including Spotify, FIS, Bank of America, Lehman Brothers, and Handelsbanken. The newly secured funding will be used to accelerate the development of SolvaPay’s machine-native payment rails and agentic revenue infrastructure, expand the engineering team, and support early adoption among businesses seeking to participate in the emerging agentic economy.
