3D Property Measurement from Smartphone Photos
Hover raised 30M+ (Google Ventures) for AI-powered 3D property measurement from smartphone photos, eliminating manual measurement for insurance adjusters and roofing contractors.
Hover is an AI-powered property measurement and 3D visualization company that generates precise building measurements and a photorealistic 3D model of a property from a set of smartphone photos taken by walking around the structure, enabling insurance adjusters, roofing contractors, and exterior remodelers to get accurate measurements and visualize renovation options without manual measurement or ladder work. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Hover has raised more than $130 million from investors including Google Ventures and has built partnerships with major insurance carriers and leading home improvement retailers and manufacturers. The company's technology converts standard smartphone photos into a dimensionally accurate 3D model within minutes.\n\nHover's measurement platform delivers roof measurements including area, pitch, and facet dimensions; wall measurements for siding and paint projects; window and door openings; and total exterior surface areas — all generated by AI from smartphone photos rather than requiring aerial imagery subscriptions or professional measurement tools. The 3D visualization capability allows homeowners and contractors to see virtual renderings of different roofing materials, siding colors, and exterior finishes on the actual property, enabling visual selling that has been shown to increase homeowner confidence in purchase decisions and average job values. Integration with contractor estimating software populates measurements automatically into estimates.\n\nHover competes with EagleView and Nearmap in the property measurement space, though Hover's smartphone-photo approach differs from aerial imagery in that it provides a more detailed 3D model and visualization capability. The company serves roofing, siding, and exterior remodeling contractors, insurance carriers for claims and underwriting, and home improvement product manufacturers and retailers seeking to drive product selection through visualization.
Armonk NY hybrid cloud and enterprise AI (NYSE: IBM) at $62.8B revenue; $6B+ generative AI bookings, record $12.7B free cash flow 2024, DataStax acquisition for watsonx vector database competing with Microsoft Azure for enterprise AI.
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is an Armonk, New York-based global technology and consulting company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IBM) as an S&P 500 component — providing hybrid cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence software, and enterprise IT consulting through approximately 270,300 employees in 170 countries with $62.8 billion in annual revenue. Founded on June 16, 1911, as Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company through a merger orchestrated by financier Charles Ranlett Flint, renamed IBM in 1924 under Thomas Watson Sr., IBM has undergone multiple strategic transformations over its 110+ year history: building the System/360 mainframe platform (1964), launching the IBM PC (1981), selling the PC division to Lenovo (2005, $1.75B), and completing the $34 billion Red Hat acquisition (2019) that repositioned IBM as a hybrid cloud platform company. CEO Arvind Krishna (appointed April 2020) has focused IBM's strategy on three areas: hybrid cloud (powered by Red Hat OpenShift, the enterprise Kubernetes platform), AI (the watsonx platform for enterprise AI model development and deployment), and enterprise consulting. Under Krishna, IBM recorded $12.7 billion in free cash flow in 2024 (a company record), surpassed $6 billion in generative AI bookings since June 2023, and saw the stock price double — trading at all-time highs through 2024-2025. IBM announced the DataStax acquisition in 2025 to deepen watsonx's data layer with AstraDB (vector database for AI applications), DataStax Enterprise (Apache Cassandra), and Langflow (low-code AI agent development).
