Track3D: Construction Reality Intelligence Company Raises $4.3 Million (Seed)

By Amit Chowdhry • Sep 12, 2024

AI-based reality construction intelligence company Track3D announced it has raised $4.3 million in seed funding. This funding round will drive the adoption of Track3D’s unified reality capture data platform, designed for intelligent, comprehensive, AI-powered construction progress monitoring. This seed funding round was led by Endiya Partners, with participation from Shadow Ventures, Monta Vista Capital and others. The funding will be used to expand Track3D’s product offerings and bolster its go-to-market efforts.

Track3D, which was co-founded by Chaitanya Naredla (NK), Kiran Gutta, and Vineeth Paruchuri, is the built environment’s only AI-first Reality Intelligence Platform. And it serves as a central hub for all visual data, transforming reality capture data from a system of record to a system of intelligence. Using visual data from drones, 360 cameras, laser scanners, and mobile devices, Track3D provides actionable insights to enhance project oversight and decision-making within a single intuitive system.

Track3D’s platform already demonstrated major impacts, with companies reporting an average of a 15 percent productivity boost by reducing time spent on non-optimal activities, a 12 percent improvement in schedule adherence, and a 20 percent reduction in rework costs. And Track3D is experiencing major growth and engagement, having already secured enterprise clients such as Hensel Phelps and Performance Contracting, Inc. (PCI). This rapid adoption by these industry leaders demonstrates the substantial value they find in Track3D’s reality intelligence platform.
