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.

ALICE Technologies

Series A in 2019
ALICE empowers construction engineering and management professionals with modern AI and Optimization techniques. Its software automatically produces detailed schedules and resource allocations, which accurately estimate the cost and time frame for a project. Users understand the construction process through an interactive visualization, and can quickly tweak or modify a schedule to reflect the shifting realities of the construction cycle. It is born out of research at Stanford by a collaborative effort between experienced construction managers, software engineers, and computational methods specialists. ALICE enhances construction planning and scheduling abilities to help keep crews flowing on any size project. It works directly with 3D BIM and using a simple rule-based system, it explores millions of different schedule sequences and gives teams the power to answer “What If?” scenarios and completely reschedule in just minutes. It was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Menlo Park, California.
