About

OpenSpace is a construction documentation and site monitoring platform that uses 360-degree cameras to automatically capture complete visual records of construction progress — enabling general contractors, owners, and project teams to document site conditions, track construction against design models, and resolve disputes with comprehensive photographic evidence collected by walking the site with a helmet-mounted camera. Founded in 2017 by Jeevan Kalanithi and Alan Teuer in San Francisco, OpenSpace has raised approximately $100 million and serves construction projects at major developers and general contractors including Turner Construction, Skanska, and Mortenson.\n\nOpenSpace's technology consists of a 360-degree camera mounted on a helmet that workers carry as they walk the site — the system automatically georeferences photos to the building's floor plan and creates a timestamped, navigable virtual walkthrough of the entire project site. Project teams can compare current conditions to earlier captures (identifying progress, change orders, or potential deficiencies), link photos to specific plan locations for RFI and issue documentation, and navigate the complete site history from any browser or mobile device.\n\nIn 2025, OpenSpace competes in the construction site documentation market against Matterport (3D scanning), Procore Observations, and Autodesk Construction Cloud Docs for visual documentation and progress tracking. The construction documentation market has significant ROI for projects — a 360-degree photographic record that resolves a single change order dispute or warranty claim can pay for years of platform subscription. OpenSpace's AI layer analyzes captures to automatically detect construction progress compared to the design model, flagging potential deficiencies before they become expensive corrections. The 2025 strategy focuses on AI-powered progress analytics (automated schedule delay risk identification), expanding drone capture integration for exterior documentation, and growing in European construction markets.

About

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).
