Stonemason Raises Pre-Seed Capital to Build a Long-Term Portfolio of Software Businesses

SAN FRANCISCO - July 20, 2026 - PRLog -- Stonemason, the software holding company founded by Alex Mokrov, has announced the completion of its pre-seed funding round with support from a group of angel investors. The company plans to use the funding to expand its software portfolio, pursue acquisition opportunities, accelerate the development of AI products, and grow its team.

Built around a long-term ownership model, Stonemason focuses on acquiring, creating, and improving software businesses. The company aims to increase the value of its portfolio through product improvements, operational optimization, and sustainable growth rather than pursuing short-term exits.

Stonemason's current portfolio includes Regulara, a compliance automation platform designed for EU financial institutions, as well as two AI software products currently being developed in stealth.

"We combine Berkshire Hathaway's philosophy with the execution speed of an AI startup," said Alex Mokrov, founder of Stonemason. "Without external pressure to sell or fixed fund timelines, we can focus entirely on making the right long-term decisions. Ownership is the foundation of our strategy."

Mokrov believes AI is creating a major shift in how software companies are built and operated. As artificial intelligence continues to reduce development costs and improve operational efficiency, Stonemason sees an opportunity to acquire and develop software businesses faster and more effectively than was previously possible.

The company is currently evaluating software and SaaS acquisition opportunities, with a focus on businesses that have established product-market fit and significant potential for product, operational, and commercial growth.
