Unlimited Industries has secured $12 million in seed financing to advance its AI-powered approach to industrial construction amid a massive wave of energy and infrastructure development requirements in the United States. The round was co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and CIV, with additional participation from several industry investors.
The company plans to use the funding to expand its engineering and construction capabilities and further enhance its proprietary AI platform, which is designed to reduce costs, shorten project timelines, and improve development outcomes across large-scale industrial projects.
Founded by Alex Modon and headquartered in San Francisco, Unlimited Industries aims to transform the way major infrastructure is conceived and executed. The company blends AI-generated engineering design with an integrated construction model that replaces traditional siloed processes with continuous optimization. Its platform rapidly simulates hundreds of thousands of potential configurations for complex industrial sites, identifying the best options based on cost, safety, and performance. Unlimited’s approach enables large developers to initiate construction earlier, reduce uncertainty, and accelerate delivery across energy generation facilities, data centers, advanced manufacturing installations, and critical minerals projects.
Modon launched the company after observing severe inefficiencies on large construction projects in Texas, where outdated workflows, fragmented teams, and slow manual processes often added years to development timelines. Recognizing that emerging AI capabilities could deliver software-like speed to physical infrastructure, he partnered with Tara Viswanathan and Jordan Stern, who previously built and scaled Rupa Health before its 2024 acquisition. Today, Unlimited’s integrated model enables near-zero marginal cost design iteration and a performance-based incentive structure that aligns its engineering and construction teams around measurable project results.
The company reports that its platform has already delivered meaningful performance improvements. On one project, pre-construction engineering time fell from six months to a few weeks. On another, the AI system evaluated tens of thousands of layouts and identified a configuration that reduced projected capital costs by more than half. Each new project adds data to the platform, strengthening the models and workflows that power Unlimited’s approach.
Unlimited Industries states that its initial priority is rapidly building new power infrastructure to meet surging demand driven by data centers and advanced manufacturing. The company works with a wide range of customers, from century-old enterprises to emerging climate and energy startups. Its broader mission is to rebuild America’s capacity to construct ambitious industrial projects quickly and efficiently by automating construction end-to-end.
KEY QUOTES:
“Advances in AI mean we can finally build the physical world the way we build software. The traditional construction model is slow, brittle, and fundamentally misaligned. Our approach replaces static design choices with a dynamic, data driven process that learns from every project. The result is faster, cheaper, and more successful projects.”
Alex Modon, Co-Founder and CEO, Unlimited Industries
“The engineering and construction industry has remained largely unchanged for decades. Unlimited’s vertically integrated, AI first approach represents a paradigm shift, turning design and build into a rapid and continuous optimization problem. This is exactly the kind of innovation needed to restore America’s ability to build ambitious infrastructure at scale.”
Katherine Boyle, General Partner, Andreessen Horowitz
“We are in the midst of the largest infrastructure buildout of our generation, but constrained by our existing resource base. The only way to have our existing workforce meet this moment is to amplify their impact with the latest advancements in AI. Unlimited is building the platform to accomplish this at scale today.”
