About

Synaps is a Vienna, Austria-based AI design startup building what it describes as “the AI canvas for architectural design” — a browser-based, multiplayer design tool aimed at architects and interior designers, often described as “Figma for architects” and pitched as a challenger to AutoCAD 124. The company was founded by three Albanian-born entrepreneurs — Brendon Ahmeti (CEO), Kevin Çobaj, and Agron Bajraktari — who met in Vienna 135.

The product combines a multiplayer canvas, AI-powered floor plan tracing, asset libraries, and AI draft-to-scene rendering, intended to compress workflows that traditionally span multiple desktop applications 41. As of the April 2026 funding announcement, the company reported approximately 60,000 total users, around 1,500 daily active users, and hundreds of paying customers, while still in beta 1.
