Past deals in Construction and Engineering

CalcTree

Pre Seed Round in 2022
CalcTree brings engineering teams, designs and calculations together. In traditional engineering design and construction, projects all begin with a design process. Architects, civil, mechanical, electrical and geotechnical engineers, as well as contractors and builders all work together to design structures down to the last bolt before a shovel even touches the ground. This process is slow, expensive and a complete mess both literally and digitally. It’s rife with data fragmentation and complexity, and CalcTree is solving that.
