2025: Attracting 400 million rubles of investments

Startup Veai, a developer of an artificial intelligence platform for corporate solutions for creating and verifying program code, has raised 400 million rubles of investments. The transaction with the participation of the Vostok Investments holding and private investors Nikolai Antipin and Roman Chernov became known in December 2025.

According to Mikhail Kudinov, co-owner and CEO of Veai, Vostok Investments holding has become a leading investor by providing a convertible loan. It acquired a minority interest. According to Vostok Investments, this is the first investment of the holding in a technology company with its own product in the early stages. The funds raised will be used to improve the quality control and safety of the generated code, as well as to expand sales in the Russian Federation.

According to Mikhail Kudinov, an IITECH legal entity was created to attract investments. According to the SPARK-Interfax database, the company was registered on October 9, 2025.

Ksenia Baburina, Development Director of the Vostok Investments venture area, noted that the Veai product is being developed by a team of international engineers. The holding considers the startup one of the key contenders for leadership in the segment of AI solutions for corporate development.

The Veai platform uses seven AI agents for various tasks: code change, testing, validation, documentation work, debugging, optimization and code study. According to the company, the use of formal verification and static analysis methods can reduce the proportion of all types of agent errors to about 10%.

Kirill Tishin, partner of the investment company Kama Flow, confirmed the high demand of the business for AI agents for generating and checking code, which is due to the shortage of developers and the growing complexity of IT products. As an example, Tishin cited the Cursor AI service, which raised $2.3 billion at an estimate of $29.3 billion in November 2025.^[1]
