Munich-based Arctis AI has officially launched alongside the close of a million-dollar-scale pre-seed funding round, backing its ambition to reduce administrative friction in Europe’s construction and infrastructure projects through AI-driven contract intelligence.
The pre-seed round was led by PT1, with additional participation from EWOR, Superangels, and a group of angel investors spanning Europe’s construction, real estate, and technology sectors. Among them are senior industry figures from PERI, La Famiglia, Marvel Fusion, and multiple construction and real estate ventures.
The capital will support team expansion, continued product development, and early customer growth across European markets.
Turning Contracts Into Living Systems
Arctis AI is building AI agents that transform construction contracts from static PDFs into structured, usable systems. The platform centralises contractual obligations, payment terms, dependencies, and risk exposure, making them accessible to commercial, legal, and project teams throughout the entire project lifecycle.
By structuring contracts into a single operational layer, Arctis AI enables teams to actively work with contract data rather than manually searching, interpreting, and cross-referencing documents.

A Structural Problem In Europe’s Largest Industry
Construction and real estate represent Europe’s largest industry, yet administrative processes remain highly manual and fragmented. This inefficiency is becoming increasingly critical as Europe faces hundreds of billions of euros in upcoming infrastructure and energy grid investments by the end of the decade.
Large-scale residential developments, transport upgrades, and aging infrastructure repairs are pushing traditional contract administration systems to their limits, increasing risk, delays, and cost overruns.
According to the founders, administrative overhead rather than execution capacity is becoming one of the biggest constraints on project delivery.
Founders And Early Momentum
The founding team met at the Technical University of Munich and launched Arctis AI in August 2025. The team combines backgrounds in AI engineering, management consulting, and large enterprise software, with experience across SAP, Bain & Company, and KPMG.
Within three months of founding, Arctis AI deployed its first pilot project in Germany. Since then, the company has hired senior engineers with experience from AWS, Snowflake, and Palantir to strengthen its technical foundation.
What Comes Next
With the new funding, Arctis AI plans to deepen its AI capabilities, introduce additional contract intelligence modules, and expand its customer base across Europe. The long-term goal is to remove operational drag from construction administration and build a scalable digital backbone for complex infrastructure projects.
By reducing risk, manual effort, and fragmentation, Arctis AI aims to help contractors and developers execute large projects faster, more reliably, and with greater transparency.
About Arctis AI
Arctis AI develops AI-powered infrastructure for managing the administrative complexity of construction and infrastructure projects. The platform replaces disconnected documents with a unified workflow that supports contract transparency, risk management, and operational alignment from tender to project close-out, enabling teams to deliver large-scale projects with greater efficiency and control.
