SolvaPay Raises €2.4M Pre-Seed for AI-Powered Payment Infrastructure

SolvaPay secured €2.4M ($2.6M) in pre-seed funding, with Redstone and MS&AD Ventures leading the round. The startup is developing AI-powered payment infrastructure designed to handle transactions in the agentic economy, where autonomous AI agents conduct commerce on behalf of users and businesses. SolvaPay's platform aims to provide payment rails and processing for machine-to-machine and agent-initiated transactions.

The round was reported during the week ending Apr 18, 2026, alongside broader fintech funding totaling $806.2M across 22 deals. The investment reflects early venture interest in payment systems built for AI-driven commerce rather than traditional human-initiated models. SolvaPay sits at the crossover of embedded payments and AI infrastructure, a category still in its earliest stages.
