Bricks.sh, the AI-native internal tool builder, announces that it has raised €1.6m in a pre-seed round led by Primo Capital. The round was oversubscribed, and also included participation from Octopus First Cheque Fund, Eden Ventures, Vesper Holding and Vento, alongside a roster of impressive angel investors including Gianluca Cocco (Qomodo), Filippo Conforti (Commerce Layer), as well as the entire founding team of online operations automator, Smartness. Bricks.sh also announces the launch of its public beta today, accessible here.

Bricks.sh embodies a new approach to building internal tools. The platform gives developers the opportunity to automatically generate an admin panel, purely by plugging their API and databases into Bricks.sh’ AI.

In three clicks, Bricks.sh empowers developers to generate a ready‑made admin panel for the entire team -- both technical and non-technical members. All users can then easily use and interact with the admin panel.

Bricks.sh automatically keeps the admin panel in sync with a user’s API and database. Whenever Bricks.sh detects a change -- such as a new field, an updated table, or a modified endpoint -- the platform updates the admin panel’s frontend to match. This saves developers’ time twice over: automatically building internal tools, and staying on top of ongoing maintenance.

Dario Di Carlo, CEO and Founder of Bricks.sh, says “ A staggering amount of engineering time is being wasted on internal tools. In fact, building internal platforms to refund orders, update subscription plans, and so on generally takes a third of each developer’s time. When building them, the previous generation of internal tool builders posed a trade off for both business and tech team: if you want a tailored solution, it takes months of development. If you want a fast solution, you sacrifice a bespoke fit. The result? Tooling that slows down tech teams, and just doesn’t work for your business teams.

We built Bricks.sh to end this trade-off once and for all. The outcome: speed where developers need it, customization where operators demand it—and a path out of the months-long grind of building internal tools that don’t drive revenue, but do drain time. The real, positive impact we’re seeing is on user bottom line”

The market has responded positively. Bricks.sh has signed up over 500 users, 99.7% from outside of Italy, the company’s home country; with 35% of users in the USA. A global company from day one and, due to the lack of transition costs between markets, Bricks.sh intends to maintain a global focus as it grows.

Bricks.sh will use the funding to continue building the core team, and deliver a product of the highest possible standard.

Niccolò Sanarico, General Partner, Primo Capital says, “Having spent years as a software engineer and then CTO, I've experienced firsthand the frustration of building internal tools. What immediately drew us to Bricks.sh was the elegance of their idea, and their smart use of generative AI. But what truly convinced us to lead this round was the team itself. Dario and Giuliano embody the rare combination of technical skill, youthful energy, dedication, and the hunger to fundamentally reshape how developers work, with a global vision from day one. That's the kind of team we like to back at Primo Capital.”

Bricks.sh’ recent integration with Supabase illustrates how the developer market has taken to the platform. Bricks.sh’ one-click admin panel developed specifically for Supabase users resulting in sign-up numbers tripling within the month; in addition to ongoing strong traction and consistent positive feedback.

Speaking on its technical capabilities, Giuliano Torregrossa, says, "As developers, we observed that regardless of industry or use case, internal tools have the same structure: tables to list users, orders, transactions; and forms to act on that data. But, this was just an observation, so we pressure-tested it. We mapped the market, and shaped our thesis: developers need speed and safety, while business teams need tailored tools that boost their workflows. Compared to building in house, Bricks.sh can ship an admin panel 1000x faster and with a 10x better UX"
