Los Angeles Software Firm Rwazi Raises $12 Million Series A Round
'For decades, decisions have been driven by instinct. But gut calls are expensive and in today's market, they're dangerous,' said Joseph Rutakangwa, chief executive and co-founder of Rwazi, in a statement. 'This raise lets us put a real-time AI copilot in the hands of every decision-maker so teams can move faster, smarter and with total clarity.'
Rwazi captures real-time consumer activity shared directly and voluntarily at a massive scale. That precision powers a new kind of intelligence system that helps teams detect shifts early, simulate outcomes, and act with speed and confidence.
The system receives constant data. The company already analyzes billions of behavioral signals across demographics, markets and products. The funding will be used to expand Rwazi's simulation capabilities, global data infrastructure and enhance its AI copilot's ability to contextualize and recommend next best moves across functions.

6 contech firms haul in a combined $208M
This story was originally published on Construction Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Construction Dive newsletter. An autonomous machinery firm that uses artificial intelligence with retrofits, an AI tool that scrapes permits across U.S. jurisdictions and field-tested AI agents all attracted investor cash in the second quarter of 2025. Here are six startups that investors rewarded with funds, and what their products can do for builders. Bedrock Robotics $80 million Bedrock Robotics, a San Francisco-based developer of advanced autonomous systems for construction, emerged from stealth with $80 million in Seed and Series A backing, the company announced on July 16. Founded by a team that includes three former Waymo leaders, Bedrock upgrades customers' existing heavy equipment fleets with reversible, same-day hardware and software installs to enable fully autonomous operations, according to the release. By integrating with existing construction machines and workflows, the products will allow builders to work around the clock, accelerate project schedules, increase profitability and safety and track job progress, per the release. The latest funding rounds will help Bedrock grow its engineering, operations and commercialization teams, and deepen partnerships to reach its target of initial operator-less deployment in 2026, per the firm. AIM Intelligent Machines $50 million Redmond, Washington-based AIM Intelligent Machines, which has developed what it calls the world's first embodied artificial intelligence platform for earthmoving machinery, has raised $50 million, according to an announcement from the company. AIM uses its plug-and-play technology to retrofit heavy equipment, like bulldozers and excavators, in the field regardless of make, model, size or age. With it, the AI platform enables a wide range of applications, from mining essential materials to building planetary-scale infrastructure, according to the news release. Buildots $45 million Tel Aviv, Israel-based Buildots, which develops AI-based construction software, completed a $45 million funding round, the firm announced on May 29. The round brings the company's total funding to $166 million. Buildots uses advanced AI and computer vision technology to provide predictive analytics to help construction teams cut delays by up to 50%, according to the release. In addition, the company is expanding its platform to cover more stages of the construction lifecycle, using historical data to benchmark and optimize future project performance. With the new funding, Buildots plans to accelerate that new offering, and is on track to quadruple its North American presence this year, per the company. Parspec $20 million Parspec, a San Mateo, California-based company that helps distributors and sales agents supply and bid construction projects, raised $20 million in Series A funding, according to a July 8 news release. The company offers an AI-native software platform that helps companies quickly identify spec-compliant products, and can extract requirements automatically from a design spec, product schedule or cut sheet, according to its website. The firm claims its customers consistently report 50-100% improvement in labor productivity and improved bid quality and compliance. Parspec plans to invest the majority of its Series A capital into product development, focused in two main areas: an end-to-end solution for the project order lifecycle including quote, submittal and fulfillment phases, and a portal that gives construction material buyers live access to project documents, order status, delivery tracking and real-time communication and collaboration tools. Klutch AI $8 million Seattle-based Klutch AI, which provides AI-powered tools for construction management software, emerged from stealth with $8 million in Seed funding, the firm announced on June 26. Klutch uses field-tested AI agents that automate tasks like permit review, takeoffs and estimates, jobsite documentation and vendor coordination, according to the news release. Unlike AI that stops at GPT-powered copilots, however, Klutch agents orchestrate end-to-end workflows and advanced analytics, the firm claims. The agents pull jobsite updates, flag issues and surface vendor insights from photos, texts, calls and emails. With the funding, Klutch will advance workflow automation capabilities and build integrations with industry-standard tools, per the release. Shovels $5 million Lafayette, California-based Shovels, which uses AI to make permit data actionable, closed a $5 million Seed funding round, the company announced on June 10. Shovels' AI-powered scrapers are optimized for diverse government systems, with intelligent classification across jurisdictions, plus continuous validation and cleansing of data streams, according to the announcement. It offers comprehensive coverage across 85% of the U.S. population, real-time processing of new permits, contractor intelligence with detailed work histories and multiple access points including API, web and direct cloud integrations. The company's first product, launched in August 2023, was an API for building permit and building contractor data, according to a news release shared with Construction Dive. With this new funding, Shovels plans to expand into untapped jurisdictions and reduce update latency to 48 hours or less, unlocking access to real-time data across all 20,000+ jurisdictions nationwide.
