Copenhagen-based AI software startup Palette has raised €3 million in pre-seed funding to expand its platform for teams adopting AI across their organisations. The round was led by Ugly Duckling Ventures, with participation from Emblem, Acadian Ventures and a group of angel investors.
Founded in 2025 by Brian Kyed, Lars Ettrup, Steffen D. Sommer and Christian Lomholt, Palette is developing an operating system designed to help companies integrate AI agents into workflows across functions including sales, operations and product.
As AI adoption expands beyond engineering teams, companies are increasingly incorporating different models and AI tools into their day-to-day operations. Palette's approach is to separate these underlying models from a company's internal context, workflows and knowledge, allowing teams to switch between models and providers while retaining their own organisational data and processes.
There will always be a newer model. The responsible way to adopt AI is to make the model swappable and make your company context durable. That's what we're building with Palette,
said co-founder Brian Kyed.
The company's Palette Desktop application enables teams to work with AI agents such as Claude Code and Codex directly on their files and folders. Users can choose between cloud-based models for factors such as speed, capabilities and cost, or local models where greater control over sensitive information is required.
Palette is also developing a broader operating system that includes a company-owned context library, shared AI skills and a connector gateway designed to allow tools to be connected once and used across multiple agents. Palette Desktop is currently available to paying customers, while the broader Palette OS is being used by design partners.
The company will use the new funding to expand its sales operations and team while continuing to develop and roll out its platform.
