Vessla, a startup building AI agents for property companies, has raised $3.3m in a pre-seed round led by Seedcamp. The company came out of stealth with the announcement on 19 October 2026.
Inception Fund and Tiny VC also invested, alongside operators from Lovable and OpenAI, Tandem Health founder Lukas Saari, Voi and Pit founder Fredrik Hjelm and a group of other angel investors. According to Tech.eu, the round was more than twice oversubscribed. The valuation was not disclosed.
Vessla was founded earlier in 2026 and, according to Tech.eu, is based in Stockholm.
“As AI takes on more of the execution, people's judgment, relationships and responsibility become even more important.”Orman Gazvini, CEO, Vessla
What Vessla does
Property owners and managers run their businesses on a mix of software for leasing, maintenance, finance and tenant communication. Vessla is building a shared AI layer that sits across those existing systems. Its agents look up information, apply each company's own operating rules and carry out tasks through the tools the company already uses, while staff keep responsibility for decisions that need judgment.
"The hard part is making it work at scale across the systems and processes those companies already rely on," said chief executive Orman Gazvini. He said AI will change how property companies operate, from maintenance and costs to leasing and rental income.
The longer-term plan is an operating system for whole property portfolios that links leasing, building operations and investment planning, with the aim of improving net operating income and long-term asset performance. The company already works with some of the largest commercial and residential property owners and operators in the Nordics, according to Seedcamp, but none were named.
The team
Gazvini previously advised large software companies at McKinsey and worked on strategy and mergers and acquisitions at Pophouse. Chief technology officer Kasper Janehag started his career in the space industry, where he worked on NASA's Mars 2020 mission, and later led enterprise AI projects at QuantumBlack, McKinsey's AI arm.
Chief scientist Arash Dabiri built and evaluated agentic AI applications at Andon Labs and QuantumBlack. Seedcamp said the wider team includes people from Legora, Stanford and Netlight. The company did not say how many people it employs.
Why Seedcamp invested
Felix Martinez, a partner at Seedcamp, said property operations mix routine work with complex processes and exceptions that need human judgment, and that Vessla is building for both. He said the team's experience of deploying advanced AI in demanding enterprise settings helps explain the interest it has drawn from large industry players in a short time.
Vessla did not give a breakdown of how it will spend the money. Tech.eu reported that it will go towards further developing the company's AI platform.
People stay in the loop
Vessla is pitching its product as a tool for staff rather than a replacement for them. Gazvini said that as AI takes on more of the routine execution, the judgment, relationships and responsibility of the people involved become more important. In Vessla's model the agents prepare and carry out the work, and the judgment calls stay with its customers' teams.
According to Tech.eu, the longer-term aim is for the agents to coordinate work across a portfolio, find ways to raise income and cut costs, and improve how efficiently buildings are run. Gazvini said the company's job is to make that work at scale inside the systems property firms already depend on. "That is what we are building," he said.
