About Lucas Otterling
Lucas Otterling is co-founder and CEO of Brickanta, a Stockholm company building agentic AI for construction and real estate. Crunchbase lists him in that role since 2025 and says he studied business and economics at the Stockholm School of Economics. Brickanta went through Y Combinator in the Fall 2025 batch.
His Y Combinator profile describes him as a go-to-market focused co-founder, an ex-professional footballer and an ex-indie app developer. Earlier, his LinkedIn activity shows him working on partnerships around AI at Mavenoid, a product support software company, which announced a $30M Series B.
Brickanta announced an $8M seed round led by Northzone, with Y Combinator and 20VC also named as backers. The company says the funds will go to team growth, new AI tools for pre-construction work and expansion across Europe.
Little of his angel activity is public. Crunchbase and the eComID round announcement list him as an investor in eComID's seed round. The announcement groups him with retail and technology executives and founders who joined the round. We found no public statement of his check sizes, fund size or investing thesis.
The eComID seed round is the one AI investment we could confirm, and it was announced in August 2026. Stockholm-based eComID <cite index="4-1">raised $17 million in a seed round led by Systemiq Capital</cite>. The company builds a shopping passport that lets shoppers store their sizing, fit and style preferences once and reuse them across participating brands. Its AI shopping agent, Vera, uses that context for sizing, conversational search and product discovery on retailers' sites.
No public statement describes the stages, sectors, geographies or check size he targets. His operating background is in applied AI for industry. At Brickanta that means construction, and at Mavenoid it meant AI partnerships for product support. His one confirmed investment is a seed-stage AI commerce company in Stockholm. These facts show what he works on. They are not a stated investment mandate.
- eComID: Stockholm-based AI shopping passport and shopper-context platform. He took part in its $17M seed round, announced in August 2026.
