| Origin is building the World's First General Purpose Construction Robot that automate interior finishing trades like drywall finishing, painting and more on real job sites. Construction is a $2T+ industry facing labor shortages, rising costs, and stagnant productivity. While manufacturing, logistics, and automotive have embraced automation, construction remains largely manual. Origin is developing the world’s first general-purpose construction robot — an AI-powered robotic system designed to work alongside human crews and operate power tools across multiple trades. Our robots are already deployed on live job sites in New York City in partnership with leading General Contractors and Trade Contractors. We are on a multi-decade mission to build intelligent robotic systems that enable scalable, high-quality, and cost-efficient construction. | $20M / Seed / Oct 15, 2026 | ||

The system supports role-based access control, configurable data hosting options, and does not train its language models on customer data. It is designed for contractors, developers, and specialist builders who need construction-focused workflows and automated reporting. | Pre-Seed / May 01, 2026 | ||
| CONXAI develops a no-code artificial intelligence platform designed to automate knowledge-intensive workflows in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries. The company enables organizations to transform fragmented project data, documents, and tacit human expertise into structured, actionable insights that support decision-makingand operational efficiency. Its platform uses smart AI and systems with multiple agents to look at different types of data like documents, images, and project records, so users can create and use AI solutions without needing to know how to code. These capabilities support tasks like project monitoring, risk assessment, and workflow automation across complex construction environments.CONXAI focuses on addressing challenges related to siloed data and undocumented knowledge in construction projects, where critical information is often dispersed across tools and stakeholders. By integrating and contextualizing this data, the platform enables improved collaboration, visibility, and control throughout the project lifecycle. | $5.8M / Series A / Apr 07, 2026 | ||
| Neuron Factory is an AI technology company specializing in the development of advanced AI coworker platforms designed for complex enterprise environments, with an initial focus on the construction industry.
