LEAPTER

Founded in 2025 by Oliver Welte and Robert Werner, Leapter is a Weimar, Germany-based startup developing an AI-generative code assistance platform. The company's mission is to bridge the trust gap in AI-generated software by transforming it from a simple code assistant into a core part of the development workflow. On July 1, 2025, Leapter announced it had raised $2 million in a pre-seed funding round to advance its platform and expand its engineering team.

Leapter's platform is designed to make code validation efficient, accessible, and reliable, particularly for enterprise users. It allows users, including those without a technical background, to input business logic through documents or interactive conversations with a generative analyst. The system then produces a natural language specification and creates executable business logic presented in a visual diagram. This visual representation enables both technical and non-technical team members to validate that the intended business flow is correctly implemented, speeding up the process from idea to production-ready software.

The business model centers on moving software development from a code-centric to a spec-centric approach, where AI generates code from specifications under human oversight. Leapter targets enterprises and developers, addressing the need to maximize the productivity of experienced engineers while enabling junior and non-technical staff to contribute safely. The platform is currently in a beta phase, with a waitlist available for interested users.
