Wix funds co-founder as he peels off with 30 employees to build a new development platform.
Website building tools like Wix (NASDAQ: WIX) and Squarespace are facing a challenge. Even as they work to integrate AI for better site-building experiences, they are facing competition from new AI-first development tools.
Now, one of Wix’s co-founders is leaving the firm to create a new AI tool for developing applications.
Nadav Abrahami is founding Dazl, and he appears to have the blessing of Wix as he departs with 30 employees and funding from Wix (as well as 40RTY Fund, which was an early investor in Wix).
Dazl claims that existing AI development tools don’t deliver the full product that developers are seeking, and it aims to fix that:
Dazl’s proprietary technology bridges the gap between creative and expressive intent and the final working product, nurturing a true partnership between the maker and AI. The result is a single platform where outputs are consistent, production-ready, and creators can build with confidence.
With $10 million in funding, it will be interesting to see how the team delivers on this.
Dazl is using dazl.dev for its website. Bank of New York Mellon owns Dazl.com. It previously used the domain for a financial platform.
