Flowstep secures $2.6M for AI design assistant platform

Flowstep, the design-tech startup building an AI-native canvas for product design teams, has raised a $2.6 million seed round led by London based Supernode Global. Tera Ventures also participated in the round having led the pre-seed in 2023, with Specialist VC also following on. Other new investors include Iron Wolf Capital, Adesso Ventures, Angel Invest (Berlin), Dnipro VC and Angel investor Anton Borzov (Founding Designer at WhatsApp).

This new round brings Flowstep’s total funding to $4.5 million and will drive team growth, the launch of enterprise-grade platform features, and US sales. The company is also officially coming out of beta, opening up global access to its AI-native design platform.

“Flowstep empowers teams to design at the speed of thought. Instead of designers adjusting their creativity to fit rigid tools, our platform adapts to the natural way teams think, accelerating ideation and iteration. With this funding, we’re closer to redefining how exceptional digital experiences are crafted.” – Matt Clannachan, Co-founder & CEO of Flowstep

The Flowstep platform is built on a stack of LLMs, reinforcement learning, canvas technology, and proprietary computer vision to generate design assets. Detailed user flows, rapid wireframes, and pixel-perfect designs are generated from a simple prompt. The platform provides full editing control on an infinite canvas, so designers can iterate with AI using Flowstep’s built-in  suggestions or manually tweak without re-prompting.

The seed funding will support Flowstep’s next phase of growth, including key engineering hires and expanded product development. As Flowstep expands its customer base among product teams, design studios, and tech startups both in the US and globally, it will also introduce enterprise-grade features, including enhanced governance, security, and compliance. 

“Flowstep fits our thesis around the future of creative and technical tools. They have built a platform that truly enhances how product design is done today, and their vision aligns with the growing demand for tools that embed intelligence into the creative process. We believe this team will play a critical role in shaping how digital products are built in the next decade.” – Mike Sackler, Founder & Managing Partner at Supernode Global

Founded in 2023, Flowstep currently employs eight people, including alumni from Bolt, Revolut, and experienced former founders. The team is focusing on scaling its go to market strategy and accelerating AI research and development.
