I'm excited to share that we've closed a new round of funding, led by Boreal Ventures with participation from BDC and BKR.
When we started SketchDeck.ai, the goal was simple: take the most tedious part of a steel estimator's day and give those hours back. Hundreds of estimators later, LIFT is doing exactly that. Our customers are turning around bids faster, staying consistent across estimators, and winning work they wouldn't have had time to chase before.
This round is about doing more of that, and doing it in more places.
Two things we're focused on:
Accelerating the product roadmap. We just launched LIFT-Delta for revisions management, and it's already saving customers entire days per project. There's a long list of things we want to build next, and this funding lets us move on it faster.
Expanding into other parts of the value chain. Takeoff and estimating is where we started. It's not where we stop. There are other stages of a steel project where the same combination of AI and workflow design can take friction out of the day, and we want to build there too.
I also want to share that JD Saint-Martin, Partner at Boreal Ventures, is joining our Board of Directors. JD helped scale Lightspeed Commerce past $1B and has spent his career building products that deliver real value to customers. He's also a founder, which means he understands the work from the inside. We're lucky to have him in the room as we take on the next stage.
Thank you to Boreal Ventures, BDC, and BKR for backing this next phase. And thank you to our customers, who have shaped every part of the product. The feedback, the trust, and the honesty about what's broken in the industry, none of this works without that.
We'll see a lot of you at NASCC this week. Booth #1127. Come say hi.
