Capital Program & Construction Project Management
Capital program management platform for owners managing large construction portfolios. Atlanta GA, raised $50M+, serving government and enterprise owners.
About
Kahua is a capital program management and construction project management platform designed for construction owners — government agencies, healthcare systems, universities, utilities, and corporate real estate departments — that manage large portfolios of capital construction projects and need an owner-side platform to track budgets, contracts, documents, and risks across multiple concurrent projects. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Kahua has raised more than $50 million and built a customer base among large public sector and enterprise owner organizations that need a configurable, owner-centric platform rather than contractor-oriented project management tools.\n\nKahua's platform provides capital program management capabilities including portfolio-level budget tracking, contract management with payment applications and change order workflows, document control, RFI and submittal management, risk management, and reporting dashboards that give owner organizations visibility across their entire construction portfolio. The platform is designed to be configurable to different owner organization structures and workflows without heavy IT customization, making it accessible to public sector procurement requirements and variable organizational models. Integration with financial systems allows capital budget tracking to connect with enterprise accounting platforms.\n\nKahua competes with Oracle Primavera, Procore's Owner product, InEight, e-Builder (acquired by Trimble), and PMWeb in the owner's project management and capital program management space. Its focus on owner-side workflows and government/public sector customers differentiates it from contractor-oriented platforms, and its flexible data model allows different divisions of a large owner organization to configure their own project workflows while maintaining consolidated portfolio reporting. Healthcare, K-12, higher education, and state and local government represent significant customer segments.

About
Palo Alto Networks, Inc. is a Santa Clara, California-based cybersecurity platform company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: PANW) as an S&P 500 Information Technology component — providing network security, cloud security, and AI-driven security operations through three integrated security platforms: Strata (network security — next-generation firewalls, SD-WAN, Zero Trust Network Access), Prisma Cloud (cloud security posture management, cloud workload protection, CSPM/CWPP), and Cortex (AI-driven security operations — XSIAM extended security intelligence and automation management, XDR endpoint detection and response, XSOAR security orchestration) through approximately 15,000 employees worldwide. In fiscal year 2024 (ending July 2024), Palo Alto Networks reported revenues of $8.0 billion (+16% year-over-year), with next-generation security Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR — Prisma Cloud and Cortex subscriptions) growing 42% to $4.2 billion as large enterprise and government customers consolidated security toolsets onto Palo Alto Networks' platform versus maintaining dozens of point solution security vendors. CEO Nikesh Arora (joined 2018 from SoftBank as Chairman and CEO) has executed the "platformization" strategy — convincing large enterprise security buyers to replace 10-15 individual security vendors (email security, endpoint protection, cloud workload protection, network detection) with a consolidated Palo Alto Networks platform contract that provides 80% of point-solution capabilities at 50% of the total cost — using the first-year transition economics to accelerate platform adoption through deferred commitment offers (paying a lower platform price in year 1 in exchange for multi-year platform commitment in years 2-4).
