Joan Rodríguez just raised $8.3M in a seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz, and if you understand what that actually means, you know this is not just a line item on a cap table. This is signal. This is Silicon Valley looking at vector graphics, squinting, and saying, “There’s infrastructure here.”
QuiverAI. Even the name moves with intention. A quiver holds arrows. Precise. Repeatable. Built to launch. And that is exactly what QuiverAI is doing with SVGs, turning visuals into ammunition for product, brand, and marketing teams who are tired of wrestling pixels when they should be shipping code.
Andreessen Horowitz led the round, with Kfund, JME Ventures, and Mission joining the table. That is not tourist capital. That is conviction capital. Rubén Domínguez Ibar announced it publicly, listing a crew of angels that reads like a backstage pass to serious technical depth: Amjad Masad, Martin Casado, Michele Catasta, Linda Tong, Nicklas Scharpff, Dr. Pascal Wichmann, and more. When operators and infrastructure minds lean in, they are not betting on pretty icons. They are betting on systems.
Here is the core idea. QuiverAI generates vector graphics as code instead of pixels. Let that breathe for a second. In a world drunk on raster image generators, Joan Rodríguez built an engine that thinks in SVG. Structured. Editable. Alive inside your workflow. Through its Figma plugin, teams can explore, generate, edit, and animate vector assets without exporting, flattening, or praying to the alignment gods.
That matters because vectors are not decoration. They are interface. They are brand language. They are product clarity. When AI outputs something editable at the code level, designers and engineers stop fighting each other and start building on the same canvas.
CincoDías and El País covered the round, framing it as a major step for a Spanish founder stepping onto a global stage. And that is the quiet flex here. You do not need to be born in Palo Alto to build something that makes Palo Alto write a check.
No valuation disclosed. No vanity metrics paraded. Just $8.3M to push deeper into AI driven vector generation and strengthen a tool that already lives where modern design happens.
The takeaway for founders is simple and uncomfortable. If you are building in AI, do not chase noise. Find the layer nobody is glamorizing but everybody depends on. Infrastructure wins long games.
QuiverAI is not trying to be another prompt toy. It is building a vector native engine for teams who ship real products. And when capital like a16z steps in this early, it is not because the demo was cute. It is because the architecture hinted at something bigger.
