Pit, an early-stage AI startup founded by Ebbe Graasbøl (cofounder of e-scooter platform Voi), closed a $16M pre-seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz. The round includes participation from existing Voi backers, signaling confidence in Graasbøl's next venture after a successful exit.
Terms and product focus remain sparse, but Pit's backing by A16z — a top-tier backer of frontier and applied AI startups — suggests an ambitious tooling or platform bet. The raise demonstrates continued mega-fund appetite for founder pedigree in the AI space despite recent cooling in early-stage funding.
