Specialist.vc co-leads a €850,000 pre-seed funding round to Banani AI
The Ukrainian startup Banani AI has raised €850,000 in a pre-seed round led by Specialist VC and the Polish venture capital firm Inovo VC. Banani AI was also among 38 Ukrainian startups awarded funding by the Seeds of Bravery consortium, an EU-funded initiative under the European Innovation Council (EIC) to support Ukrainian tech startups.
Banani AI is an artificial intelligence-based tool that allows users to create interface designs quickly and easily. The startup aims to make creating beautiful UIs accessible to everyone, including startup founders, project managers, and teams with limited design resources.
The Banani AI tool transforms textual descriptions of designs or ideas into fully functional interactive UI prototypes. You can edit it using simple language and share or export your designs in any format.In terms of the next steps, Banani wants to become the central product-design hub for teams. While today it helps with early-stage design, it is also building layers to connect user insights, generate better flows, and eventually build a true design brain for companies.
