Two former Pipedrive employees secure pre-seed funding from Outlast Fund, FIRSTPICK, Curiosity VC, and Wise’s first product manager Henrik Bohman.
Display.dev, a platform that gives AI agents a home for publishing and collaborating on documents, has raised €470,000 in pre-seed funding. The round was backed by Outlast Fund, FIRSTPICK, Curiosity and angel investor Henrik Bohman, Wise’s first product manager. The company was co-founded by Ott Ilves and Carl Rannaberg, both former Pipedrive employees who first met there over a decade ago.
The idea came from Carl’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. Display.dev solves this by giving every agent the ability to publish documents the same way Google Drive works for people – each document gets a URL that colleagues and collaborators can access and comment on. Agents can read those comments and publish updated versions in response, creating a natural feedback loop between human reviewers and AI-generated content.
The platform is agent-agnostic by design: a document created in Cursor can be edited in Codex and refined in Claude Code. As the best models and agents continue to shift – and open-source models keep advancing – Display.dev users can always work with the most appropriate tools without being locked to any single platform or model lab.

Unlike most AI and SaaS tools, Display.dev uses company-based pricing rather than per-seat licensing, making it cost-effective for organisations of any size to store and collaborate on agent-generated output.
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 one billion for ChatGPT – yet most of the productivity agents generate has not yet made it into companies’ workflows. Display.dev positions itself as one of the key infrastructure layers for that transition.
“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.” Kristaps Prusis, Partner at Outlast Fund
“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.” Ott Ilves, Co-founder of Display.dev
