We invested in Cascade, the AI that finds and wins construction contracts

Architecture, engineering, and construction firms spend weeks chasing public RFPs across fragmented databases, then more weeks writing proposals by hand.

Cascade aggregates all of the public government RFPs, matches them to the right firms with AI, drafts winning proposals, and connects firms with qualified partners to bid together. 3.5 million AEC firms (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) firms in the US bid into an $800B+ government procurement market, and the tooling has not kept up.

We believe Cascade is on the path to becoming the primary platform where AEC firms find and win contracts, and the product compounds in ways that fit our blitzscaling thesis (see our scorecard).

Each cross-firm collaboration brings outside firms onto the platform as new users. Every match, outcome, and proposal record builds a proprietary data layer that competitors cannot reconstruct. Government and Builders Exchange partnerships pull demand into the network.
