Chicago-based construction tech startup Buildots has raised $45 million in a Series D round led by Qumra Capital, with participation from OG Venture Partners, TLV Partners, Poalim Equity, Future Energy Ventures, and Viola Growth. This brings the company’s total funding to $166 million.
Founded in 2018 by Roy Danon, Aviv Leibovici, and Yakir Sudry, Buildots leverages AI and 360-degree cameras mounted on site managers’ hard hats to provide real-time progress tracking across construction projects. The platform offers predictive analytics, chatbot-based status updates, and automated risk alerts.
Scaling for the full construction lifecycle
With clients including Intel and more than 50 construction firms, Buildots plans to use the fresh capital to expand its platform capabilities across additional phases of the construction lifecycle. The startup aims to train AI models using historical data to benchmark and optimize project performance.
U.S. growth and product expansion on the roadmap
Buildots, which now employs over 230 people, intends to bolster its R&D operations and expand its North American footprint. CEO Roy Danon emphasized that the new funding validates market demand for performance-focused, data-driven construction solutions.
