Oslo-based AI startup Visoid has raised $2.5 million in funding to accelerate the development of its AI visualisation platform for architects and support its international growth. The round was led by Skyfall Ventures, with participation from existing investors StartupLab, OBOS and Antler, alongside new investors Farvatn and byFounders Angel Collective.
Founded in 2023 by former architect Mark Szoke and serial entrepreneur Joachim Holwech, Visoid develops an AI-powered visualisation platform designed specifically for architectural workflows. The software transforms existing 3D models into high-quality visualisations within minutes while preserving the original design intent, allowing architects to explore different ideas and communicate designs without relying on traditional rendering processes.
The company is focusing on the growing use of AI earlier in the architectural design process. Rather than being used solely to produce final images, Visoid enables architects to visualise and evaluate different concepts while designs are still evolving.
Unlike general-purpose image generators, the platform works directly with existing architectural models and workflows, allowing users to iterate on designs while maintaining consistency with the underlying project.
Our current position gives us a strong foundation to develop Visoid for bigger, design-driven workflows, and the app is already ready for architects worldwide. This new capital lets us hire faster, expand our market position, and invest more in both the team and the product,
said Mark Szoke, CEO of Visoid.
Visoid will use the new capital to expand its engineering, product and commercial teams, develop additional AI capabilities for architectural workflows, grow its international customer base and deepen partnerships with architecture and design firms.
