Your AI scheduling assistant for construction

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

We built Karmen to create baseline construction schedules automatically from project documents. The AI updates these schedules as projects change, cutting down the manual work and delays project managers usually face.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we live and have access to AI talent and early users in construction tech. Staying here lets us build close ties and stay agile.
