bilt.me raises €615K pre-seed led by Superhero Capital for AI-native mobile app builder

bilt.me, a Tallinn-based AI-native mobile app builder, has raised a €615,000 pre-seed round. Superhero Capital led the financing, with participation from Markus Villig and Martin Sokk.

What bilt.me Does

bilt.me turns plain-language descriptions into native iOS and Android apps. Users describe what they want, preview the result live on a phone, and can publish to the App Store and Google Play.

The company draws a distinction between itself and AI app builders focused on web applications: bilt.me supports code-free native development. It ships its own supporting layers — Bilt Payments, Bilt Cloud, and Bilt Link — while still letting users export the underlying React Native code.

Founded in August 2025 by Uku Joost Annus, Kevin Akkermann, and Karl Kiilaspaa, the company runs on a free tier with paid plans starting at about $15 per month, plus an enterprise package.

Traction

According to the company, bilt.me has passed six figures in ARR, with revenue doubling month over month.

The Round

  • Round type: Pre-Seed
  • Amount: €615,000 EUR
  • Date: September 28, 2026
  • Lead investor: Superhero Capital
  • Additional investors: Markus Villig, Martin Sokk

The presence of Markus Villig and Martin Sokk among the backers brings operator-angel participation alongside institutional lead Superhero Capital. For a company founded in August 2025, the round comes early in its life and follows a period of rapid reported revenue growth.

Why It Matters

The mobile app development toolchain has been a persistent target for AI-driven automation, but much of the activity has concentrated on web output. bilt.me's focus on native iOS and Android — with live device previews and store publishing — targets a workflow that has historically required either platform-specific expertise or cross-platform frameworks.

Its bundled infrastructure layers are notable. Bilt Payments, Bilt Cloud, and Bilt Link mean the platform aims to cover more of the app lifecycle than code generation alone, while React Native code export gives users an exit path rather than locking them into a proprietary runtime.

That combination — native output, supporting infrastructure, and code portability — is the kind of stack that could draw interest from larger development-platform, no-code, or mobile tooling vendors looking to add AI-native native app creation to their portfolios.

What to Watch

The company's reported month-over-month revenue doubling is an early-stage metric, and the coming quarters will show whether that pace holds as the paid tiers and enterprise package gain adoption. The size of the pre-seed — €615,000 — is modest, so execution on product and go-to-market will matter more than capital intensity.

For now, the headline is straightforward: a Tallinn startup founded in August 2025, building AI-native native mobile apps, has raised a pre-seed led by Superhero Capital with angel backing from Markus Villig and Martin Sokk.
