Pit, an AI-native workforce platform, this week announced its public launch alongside $16 million in funding led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). The round includes participation from Lakestar, the Pit founders, executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Deel, and Revolut, and the Stena and Lundin families.
Pit is publicly launching as an “AI product team as a service” — enabling companies to build and deploy custom, production-grade software for their internal business operations.
Across industries, core business operations are still powered by spreadsheets, inboxes, and rigid SaaS tools that were never designed for how companies actually work. While enterprises have spent over $1 trillion on digital transformation in recent years, most workflows remain fragmented, manual, and difficult to adapt.
Pit replaces this layer with AI-native software that is custom-built for each company’s workflows. This enables teams to move faster, operate more efficiently, and scale without the constraints of legacy systems.
Pit’s platform is designed to take a business need — from operations to finance to customer workflows — and translate it into fully deployed, governed software.
The product consists of two core components. Pit Studio – learns how teams work, and builds the system that runs it. Pit Cloud is a governed infrastructure with tenant isolation, ISO 27001, SSO, RBAC, and full audit observability
The product is live across enterprise pilots in logistics, telecom, e-commerce, and healthcare — including deployments with Voi, Tre, Stena Recycling, and Kry — with systems going live in days or weeks.
The company was built by the founders and CTO/AI leads behind Voi, Klarna and iZettle, who spent years replacing manual workflows with custom, AI-powered systems at scale – driving significant operational gains across both Klarna and Voi. That same approach is now productized in a platform designed for enterprise-grade security, governance, and reliability.
