AI 摘要

a16z 领投了 Endra 的 5000 万美元 A 轮融资,这家公司用 AI 自动化建筑中的机械、电气和管道(MEP)设计工作。传统上,工程师需要数周手动点击平面图来设计消防或电力系统,而 Endra 允许工程师设定规则后一键优化,几小时内完成。创始团队包括两位童年好友和两位前高盛低延迟交易台的技术专家,公司成立仅 18 个月,总融资已达 7400 万美元。Endra 的目标是彻底改变数据中心、医院和住宅的设计方式,并正在斯德哥尔摩、纽约和旧金山招聘。

We’re thrilled to be leading Endra’s Series A. The built world runs on software older than some of the engineers using it. Endra is doing something about it. They automate the design work done by mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) consultants, the engineers who design critical systems that help make up every building. An engineer can set the rules for a fire or power system, hit optimize, and be done. Work that used to take weeks of clicking through floor plans is done in a sitting. Niklas Lindgren and Anton Juric are childhood best friends who started and sold their first company in an adjacent space and grew up around MEP consultants. They partnered with elite technologists in David Rydberg and Gustav Hammarlund who worked together at Goldman’s low-latency trading desk in Stockholm. If you run an MEP firm, a GC, or a development shop and want to ship buildings faster, give Endra a call. And if you’re an engineer who wants to help rebuild the software stack behind the built world, they’re hiring across Stockholm, NYC, and SF. By @joeschmidtiv , @dhaber , @CarolineGoggs , and @zabie_e Niklas Lindgren @niklaslindgrenn Today we're announcing that we've raised $50 million led by @a16z , bringing our total funding to $74 million over the last 12 months. Anton, David, Gustav and I started Endra 18 months ago in an unheated wine cellar in Stockholm without any lights. I'm incredibly proud of what we've built so far and the team that has joined us since. Endra is by far the most ambitious MEP engineering technology company ever existed. We're about to transform how millions of engineers who design our data centers, hospitals and homes work, and bring the future of how we design buildings to life. I recently sat down with leaders in the industry in a conversation during two days in New York and London, to understand how the engineering organizations of the future look like, and how AI will fundamentally rewrite how they operate as a business. See the full conversation below. This is by far the most exciting time of my career, and we're just getting started. @joeschmidtiv , @dhaber and the whole @a16z team: kudos for believing in and supporting our crazy vision. Excited to share what's next at our launch event in Las Vegas on September 14th. Spots are limited, so apply for access today. Link below.
