Bricks.sh secures €1.6M in pre-seed funding and launches a public beta to streamline how teams build and maintain internal admin tools.
Bricks.sh, an AI-native platform designed to simplify the creation of internal software tools, has raised €1.6 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Primo Capital. The round included participation from Octopus First Cheque Fund, Eden Ventures, Vesper Holding, and Vento.
The funding coincides with the launch of Bricks.sh’s public beta, opening the platform to a broader developer audience.
Several angel investors also participated in the round, including Gianluca Cocco of Qomodo, Filippo Conforti of Commerce Layer, and members of the founding team behind Smartness, an online operations automation company.
Automating a Persistent Engineering Bottleneck
Bricks.sh is tackling a familiar problem for engineering teams: the time-consuming and often repetitive work of building internal tools. Its platform allows developers to generate admin panels by connecting existing APIs and databases to its AI system. With limited setup, teams can create interfaces usable by both technical and non-technical staff.
Crucially, the platform keeps admin panels synchronised with the underlying systems when APIs or databases change—through new fields, updated tables, or modified endpoints—the interface updates automatically, reducing both initial build time and long-term maintenance overhead.

Balancing Speed and Customisation
According to Dario Di Carlo, founder and chief executive of Bricks.sh, internal tool development often forces teams into an unproductive compromise.
“A significant share of engineering time is spent building internal tools,” Di Carlo said. “Teams are typically forced to choose between speed and customisation, and the result is software that slows developers down and fails to meet business needs.”
He added that Bricks.sh was built to eliminate that trade-off, offering rapid development alongside the flexibility operators expect—while reducing the months-long effort often spent on tools that generate little direct revenue.
Next Steps
The company plans to use the new capital to expand its core team and continue developing the platform as it moves through its public beta phase.
As organisations increasingly look to streamline internal operations without adding engineering drag, Bricks.sh is positioning itself as a way to make internal tooling faster, more adaptable, and less costly to maintain.
