Stockholm-based startup Atech, which develops an AI platform that turns natural language prompts into working hardware prototypes using modular components and auto-generated firmware, has raised a pre-seed funding round.
- Founded in 2026 by Vladimir Baran, Tomas Erik Harmer, and David Stålmarck, Atech develops a platform that enables users to design and build hardware prototypes using natural language prompts.
- The system generates a hardware configuration by selecting compatible modules, assigning connections, and producing the necessary firmware code. Users then assemble the physical components, such as sensors, screens, and input modules, by connecting them to a central board, after which the generated code is uploaded via a computer to activate the device.
- The approach is intended to reduce the need for specialised engineering knowledge by standardising both the hardware modules and the software generation process.
Details of the deal
- The pre-seed round saw support from Nordic Makers, Emblem, Lovable, Sequoia Scout Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz Scout Fund.
- The investment will help Atech further develop its platform, scale its technology, and make hardware prototyping faster, simpler, and accessible to a broader range of users.
