At Agora, our mission is to bring the construction industry into the 21st century by making it more efficient and faster to build. Construction is a $10T a year industry that employs more than 200 million people worldwide, but productivity in the industry has barely increased since 1945. To change that, we’ve built a materials management solution that simplified and streamlines how materials – which constitute up to 40% of project costs – are managed. Our product brings field foremen, purchasing teams, and vendors together onto a single platform which improves the transparency and collaboration between them. To date, we’ve raised $11.4M from leading technology investors including 8VC and Index Ventures, and national construction groups including Tishman Speyer and Suffolk Construction, and are now processing over $1M a week in materials orders for contractors all over the country.
Converge digitises the physical reality of construction by building AI and cloud-based technologies that are powered by a suite of proprietary wireless sensors. In a world of finite resources Converge are helping construction companies to build the future more efficiently, safely, and sustainably.
Converge’s first product, ConcreteDNA, has enpowered leading construction companies to drive efficiencies by shortening concrete cycles with accurate AI predictions and real-time strength data generated from sensors embedded in the concrete. By integrating the sensor data with 3D BIM models, ConcreteDNA forms the first true Digital Twin of concrete on the construction site.

We are a construction technology company based in Oakland, CA that is innovating the construction industry by creating homes that are beautiful, affordable, and sustainable using 3D printing, robotics, and automation. Our 3D-printing technology allows us to produce modular houses and building components much faster than traditional construction.
Our 3D printers use a thermoset composite material we invented called Light Stone Material (LSM), that hardens when exposed to UV light, making it a more effective building material.
Not only are we certified under California’s Factory Built Housing program to build units using 3D printing, we are also the first company to achieve certification under the UL 3401 standard for evaluating building structures and assemblies.
We are backed by notable top-tier venture capital firms such Khosla Ventures, Y Combinator, SV Angel, CoreVC, and more.
ConX is a SaaS platform designed and built specifically for small to medium construction contractors to manage the critical pre-construction process with estimating and tender management tools. Contractors can quickly and accurately quote on more jobs and ultimately win more work. We are building a fully integrated pre-construction solution with 3 core products live in market, underpinned by a network of +25,000 contractors.
ConX Measure is a cloud based measuring tool that allows contractors to do fast, accurate quantity and material takeoffs. ConX Quote lets contractors create and send quotes in minutes incorporating the takeoff from ConX Measure and the contact, inventory and pricing information setup on ConX. ConX Tender allows general contractors to seamlessly manage the tendering process, centralising quotes and communication in one place.
It is revolutionising the industry from the ground up, with tools that are quick to adopt, easy to use and cost effective. Thousands of projects are created every month from customers in ANZ, US & Europe.

Construction fleet owners waste 20% of their annual equipment cost in low utilization, unplanned downtime, idling assets, and unnecessary rental and assets hoarding. On average, this translates to 6% of revenues, and more than their entire net profit margin. Companies are aware of this wastage but find it impossible to reduce because they lack an integrated fleet management solution that works across Operations and Equipment departments, all jobs/functions, and all asset types and OEMs.
Clue is the first fully integrated solution to digitize, connect and optimize all aspects of construction fleet operations – off-road, on-road, tools and crew – in a single platform. Powered by AI and robust telematics integrations, Clue provides operations and fleet managers actionable data, a single ‘source of truth’ and a centralized place to manage their entire fleet operation, eliminating 25% of unnecessary equipment cost and reducing asset management time by 80%.
Acoutera was founded in 2018 to solve the challenges that we faced as general contractors. Since then, our mission has evolved into one that aspires to make the home renovation industry better by increasing efficiency for contractors while reducing costs and stress for homeowners.
We have been able to do this by integrating every step of the renovation process into a cohesive flow, starting with bathroom renovations. First, customers design their dream bathroom using our realistic 3D design studio. Next, an accurate price is generated based on their selections, and a contract is automatically created. All of this information is available to our tradesmen, who complete the work to rigorous quality standards.
This vertical integration allows us to reduce costs by as much as 50% while simultaneously increasing the quality standards for tradesmen.
Billd is an innovative payment solution within the construction industry, helping contractors improve their cash flow to grow their business while providing suppliers upfront payments to increase sales and reduce credit risk. Construction payment cycles are broken. Subcontractors are required to buy materials to start work far in advance of getting paid, typically resulting in a 60-90 day gap in cash flow. Even with standard 30-day supplier terms, subs are asked to float the cost of materials for far too long, stunting their ability to take on new, or larger projects. Billd solves this problem by paying their supplier upfront, and extending 120-day terms to better align with traditional construction payment cycles.
