Borken-based Conmeet, an AI-powered cloud platform built for process-driven construction and trade businesses, has closed a €1.3 million pre-seed funding round as it steps out of stealth mode.
The round was led by May Ventures under Managing Partner Maximilian Derpa. The founding team also invested significant personal equity into the company.
Built In Stealth For Two Years
Founded in 2023 by Benedikt Kisner, Leandro Ananias and Lennart Eckerlein, Conmeet was developed over two years in stealth and fully self-financed before raising external capital.
Kisner, a serial entrepreneur and founder of netgo group, which was later exited through a private equity sale, teamed up with CTO Ananias and COO Eckerlein to tackle inefficiencies in the construction and skilled trades software market.
The sector remains highly fragmented and largely dependent on legacy, on-premise enterprise systems. Many mid-sized companies operate with five to eight disconnected tools, leading to data silos, duplicated processes and high administrative burden. Even newer cloud-based solutions often struggle to reflect the operational complexity of construction workflows.

A Cloud-Native Platform For Construction Workflows
Conmeet positions itself as a fully cloud-native, integrated platform tailored specifically to construction and craft businesses. The system combines CRM, ERP, project management, controlling, banking and communication into a unified database.
Through AI-powered workflows, the platform automates routine administrative tasks and coordinates more complex business processes. According to the company, this can reduce administrative effort by 20 to 40 percent while maintaining enterprise-grade capabilities.
The platform also introduces an ecosystem-based model, enabling structured collaboration between contractors, subcontractors and project partners. Features such as shared construction diaries, defect management and project hierarchies are designed to streamline coordination and create stronger network effects within projects.
Scaling AI And Expanding The Ecosystem
The fresh capital will be used to scale operations, expand sales and marketing activities and grow the engineering team. A key focus will be further strengthening Conmeet’s AI capabilities.
The company’s roadmap includes two strategic priorities. First, it plans to develop AI agents capable of autonomously handling entire business processes, replacing manual tasks and increasing operational efficiency. Second, it aims to broaden the platform into a comprehensive ecosystem connecting architects, general contractors, facility managers and maintenance providers across the full real estate value chain.
The platform is currently gaining traction among process-oriented construction and trade companies with between 10 and 500 employees, a segment Conmeet identifies as offering strong growth potential and a clear willingness to invest in efficiency-enhancing technology.
