AI agents' collaboration tool raises €470K

TALLINN - Estonian startup Display.dev has raised €470,000 in pre-seed funding to grow its publishing and collaboration platform for AI agents.

Display.dev gives every agent the ability to publish documents with a shareable URL – colleagues comment, agents read the comments and publish updated versions, and it works across any agent, including Cursor, Codex and Claude Code, rather than being locked to one model or platform.

The round was backed by Outlast Fund, FIRSTPICK, Curiosity and angel investor Henrik Bohman, Wise’s first product manager.

“Work is shifting from documents to artifacts – and they’ll be created across many different models and tools. Display.dev is building the home for all of that output, independent of any single lab or platform. Paying customers showing up on day one tells you the need is real,” said Kristaps Prusis, Partner at Outlast Fund.

The company was co-founded by Ott Ilves (also co-founded esgrid, which had a recent demise) and Carl Rannaberg, both former Pipedrive employees who first met there over a decade ago.

The idea came from Rannaberg’s own frustration. His AI agents were constantly generating HTML and Markdown files, but there was no good way to share or collaborate on them with colleagues.

Launched in May 2026, the company is targeting the growing gap between where AI agents are used and where their output actually lands. OpenAI’s Codex already has 5 million active users, compared to around 1 billion for ChatGPT – yet most of the productivity agents it has generated have not yet made it into companies’ workflows. Display.dev positions itself as one of the key infrastructure layers for that transition.

“Our original intent was to build an elegant solution to one small problem. But the deeper we went, the clearer it became just how large the need for knowledge work infrastructure for agents actually is. The productivity that agents produce today hasn’t yet transferred into most companies – and we’re building one of the key pieces that will make that transfer possible,” said Ott Ilves, co-founder of Display.dev.
