Serverpod funding news – Stockholm-based Serverpod Secures €2.7 Million in Seed Funding

The funding was led by node.vc, with support from Greens Ventures and PreSeed Ventures. This comes one year after the company raised €1.7 million in pre-Seed funding in 2024.

Viktor Lidholt, CEO of Serverpod said: “With Flutter continuing to grow as a leading framework for app development, developers need a backend solution that integrates seamlessly without the complexity of switching languages or relying on restrictive serverless platforms. Serverpod was built to fill this gap—offering full control, scalability, and deep integration with Flutter, all within the Dart ecosystem. We believe that as more developers seek efficient, cost-effective, and scalable backend solutions, Serverpod will become a key player in shaping the future of backend development for Flutter apps.”

Serverpod aims to help developers using Flutter, the world’s most popular cross-platform app development framework, by providing a simple backend solution. The company will use its new funding to expand globally, grow its team, improve its technology, and expand into other frameworks and languages beyond Flutter.

Every day, over 1,000 new Flutter apps are launched. However, Serverpod points out that one issue with Flutter is that it can't directly build the backend for these apps. Without a backend, Flutter apps face problems with functionality, security, and scalability.

For example, without a backend, these apps can't store user data across devices, provide real-time updates, or offer secure login. This makes features like cloud sync, messaging, and push notifications impossible. It also leads to security risks because all data and logic are stored on the user's device, which can be lost or hacked.

As a result, developers have had to use different platforms to build their own backend, but these platforms often have problems because they aren’t designed for Flutter.

Building a backend is usually harder than building a frontend because of the complex programming languages involved. This has led to a demand for backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platforms, but many of them use different languages and servers that don’t work well together.

To solve this, Serverpod offers a simpler and more efficient solution. Its platform allows developers to build a backend for their app using Dart (the language used for Flutter frontends), so there’s no need to work with different programming languages.

Serverpod is already being used by developers from many industries, including healthcare, finance, gaming, and entertainment.

node.vc partner Daniela Sjunnesson comments: “Serverpod is solving a critical pain point for Flutter developers with a team that knows this challenge firsthand. Viktor and his team combine deep technical expertise with a passion for making backend development radically simpler. As Flutter adoption grows, the demand for a scalable, developer-friendly backend is growing. We’re excited to back a team so uniquely positioned to lead this shift and build a category-defining company.”
