About

Buildots is a Tel Aviv, Israel-based construction AI and project intelligence platform — founded in 2018 by Talpiot IDF alumni Roy Danon (CEO), Aviv Leibovici (CTO), and Omri Mayrose — using computer vision and machine learning to automatically track construction progress by comparing 360-degree site footage captured by workers wearing hardhat-mounted cameras against 3D building information models (BIM), generating real-time construction completion status across every room, floor, and system in a project. The company raised $45 million in a Series D round in May 2025 led by Qumra Capital (with existing investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Future Energy Ventures, and Viola Ventures), reaching a $300 million valuation and $166 million in total capital raised. Buildots serves 50+ major construction companies globally including Turner Construction, STO Building Group, JE Dunn, VINCI, Bouygues, and Skanska, with the company reporting triple-digit revenue growth and 4x North America expansion in 2025. The platform operates on over 230 employees spanning offices in Tel Aviv, London, New York, and Singapore.

About

Modal is a serverless cloud computing platform purpose-built for AI and machine learning workloads — providing on-demand GPU compute that scales instantly from zero with per-second billing, container management, distributed training support, and a Python-native developer experience that makes running ML workloads in the cloud feel as simple as running code locally. Founded in 2021 in New York City and backed by Redpoint Ventures and other investors, Modal has grown rapidly as AI development has accelerated demand for flexible, developer-friendly GPU infrastructure.\n\nModal's developer experience is its primary differentiator — engineers write Python functions decorated with @modal.function() and deploy them to the cloud with a single command, with Modal handling container building, GPU provisioning, auto-scaling, and execution. The platform supports training jobs that need distributed compute across multiple GPUs, model serving endpoints that scale to zero when unused (eliminating idle GPU costs), and batch inference jobs that process large datasets. The per-second billing model means developers pay only for actual compute time, not provisioned instances.\n\nIn 2025, Modal competes in the AI infrastructure market with Replicate, Beam, Banana, and major cloud providers' managed ML services (AWS SageMaker, Google Vertex AI, Azure ML) for serverless GPU compute. The market for AI-specific cloud infrastructure has grown dramatically as the number of ML engineers deploying models to production has expanded — traditional cloud providers require significant DevOps expertise to use GPU instances effectively, while Modal's Python-native approach reduces the barrier to entry. Modal has attracted a strong developer following among AI researchers and ML engineers building production AI applications. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing the developer community, adding enterprise features (dedicated GPU capacity, private networking, compliance), and expanding the hardware options available (H100 GPUs, custom accelerators).
