AI CAD for AEC

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build an AI-powered CAD tool tailored for architects and engineers, focusing on production homebuilding, modular housing, MEP, and fire suppression systems. Our product automates complex design tasks, speeding up workflows that typically require significant manual drafting and coordination.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Being in San Francisco keeps us close to engineering talent and early customers in construction and real estate who are experimenting with AI tools. It's the right ecosystem for building our product and connecting to strategic partners.
