We’re excited to announce Leonis Capital’s investment in Orchids, an AI-powered, design-first platform that turns brand personality into beautiful websites and apps in minutes—no coding, no creative bottlenecks.
The Website Creation Gap
Prompt-based no-code builders have made it easy to turn a sentence into HTML, but the trade-off is sameness: most outputs share the same generic layouts and lifeless aesthetic. Brands that want personality still end up hiring designers and developers, adding cost and weeks of iteration. While low-code AI platforms erasing the entry barrier for website development, millions of businesses remain stuck choosing between speed and soul. Orchids eliminates that compromise with a new model: describe and deploy—fast and uniquely on-brand.
Enter Orchids: Design Made Simple
Orchids re-imagines prompt-based site building around one goal: professional-grade design without the designer. Its AI doesn’t just spit out boiler-plate HTML; it translates each prompt into balanced layouts, harmonious typography, and on-brand color systems that feel custom, not canned. Need inspiration? Paste any URL and Orchids clones the underlying structure pixel-perfectly, then lets you reshape it in seconds. A single click publishes the site or exports clean, production-ready code. The result is the first prompt-driven builder that delivers both the speed creators love and the design brands need.
Investing to Democratize Creativity
At Leonis Capital, we believe AI will unlock creative tools for a far broader audience. That’s why we’ve backed companies like Spline (AI-powered 3D design), Yarn (AI-native video creation), and Onlook (Cursor for designers). Our investment in Orchids reflects that same thesis - AI as a design partner, not just a coding assistant. By making studio-quality design accessible to anyone with a prompt, Orchids is changing how the internet gets built.Leonis Capital’s “AI × Design” dinner in SF, where Orchids and fellow builders met and discussed how AI can support creative, human-centered design.
