I’m thrilled to share that we at Standard Capital have just led a $6 million Series A for Magic Patterns—arguably one of the most exciting AI-design tools we’ve seen in a long time. The team, led by co-founders Alex Danilowicz and Teddy Ni, has built something special and fast: since launching in 2023 they’ve grown to over 1,500 product teams using the tool, and hit ~$1M in ARR—all while remaining lean and deliberate.
So what drew us to Magic Patterns? Here are the key things I came away from our conversation:
1. From idea to production in minutes. The core of what Magic Patterns delivers is allowing product teams (designers, PMs, engineers alike) to move from “I have an idea” to “here’s a working UI, component or landing page” with natural-language prompting and built-in code export. It doesn’t just spin up static mocks—it outputs production-ready React/Tailwind code, integrates with existing design systems, and supports real collaboration.
2. They built it for teams that already care about design systems. This isn’t just another “auto-website builder.” The thing that excites us is how they let teams import their Figma components or Storybook libraries (or even use a Chrome Extension to grab live HTML) and then reference them directly inside prompts or presets. This brand-system support—typography, colors, component libraries—means Magic Patterns becomes part of the workflow, not a disjointed toy.
3. They grew responsibly and with real signals. Before this raise they had achieved profitability and $1M ARR with a tight team. Because we’ve been hearing a lot of “build fast, raise fast” stories lately, what stood out was that Magic Patterns is already serving real customers (startups and enterprises alike) doing meaningful work. That gives us confidence in their trajectory.
4. The opportunity ahead is massive. The space of “design-to-code”, “idea-to-UI” tools is exploding. But many of the players focus on mockups or design handoffs. Magic Patterns focuses on code-first, production-ready frontends, enabling tighter loops between ideation, prototyping and shipping. That gives them a great shot at defining this new category.
What’s next? With this Series A we’re excited to back the team as they scale: hiring across product, growth and enterprise go-to-market; deepening the integrations (GitHub, Figma, design systems, engineering workflows); and continuing to obsess about quality (e.g., better, more natural code) and customer feedback. The new launch “Magic Patterns 2.0” is exactly that: a meaningful step forward in their vision.
From our end at Standard Capital, we’re honored to lead this round and partner with Alex, Teddy and the whole Magic Patterns team. We believe in their mission of making it radically faster for teams to get from idea to production-ready UI—and for more creators & builders to embrace powerful design/code workflows. If you’re working on building something great, I’d encourage you to check out what they’ve built.
