As AI accelerates how teams ship software, the real bottleneck shifts from coding to deciding what to build and why. According to ProductPlan’s 2023 report, 47% of product managers struggle with cross-functional alignment, and 38% feel blocked by fragmented feedback.
Bulgaria-based SaaS startup Thinkpilot officially launches aiming to rethink how product teams turn ideas into actionable specs.
The company also announced it has raised a €600,000 pre-seed round led by LAUNCHub Ventures, with participation from several strategic angels across Europe.
Product development with purpose-built AI
Thinkpilot is a purpose-built AI workspace designed to think alongside a product team. It combines a collaborative co-pilot with specialized agents to support ideation, research, validation, and specification. The platform integrates with the product stack directly, such as Google Drive, Confluence, Jira and Linear, allowing teams to pull in company context automatically.
“We’re not adapting problems to fit the tech, we’re adapting the tech to solve the problems product teams actually have.” said Stoimen Veselinov, Co-Founder and CEO of Thinkpilot. “We built it to remove the hidden obstacles that prevent teams from building truly valuable digital solutions.”
Aiming to reshape how product teams work
Founded late 2024, the Thinkpilot team brings together expertise in product, AI, and engineering. The company was co-founded by Stoimen Veselinov, a SaaS product leader and specialist; Megan Wolff, a growth and marketing strategist turned startup operator; Kiril Dimitrov, Head of R&D and AI specialist; and Antonio Iliev, CTO and engineering leader.
The team is based across Europe and the Middle East and is backed by LAUNCHub Ventures, one of the leading early-stage investors in the CEE region.
Todor Breshkov, Founding Partner at LAUNCHub Ventures stated: “As AI rapidly commoditizes code generation, the strategic leverage shifts upstream — to product teams and the decisions they make. Thinkpilot is uniquely positioned at this inflection point, giving product managers a 10x edge through a purpose-built AI co-pilot that integrates directly with their workflow. With specialized agents for PMs, Thinkpilot transforms scattered thinking into structured output.”
