018⎢Snaptrude's $14M Series-A⎢How new technologies unlock big challengers to the 3D/CAD incumbents⎢Why the community plays a big role in changing the AEC design stack
This week:
This episode explores the major shifts happening in construction tech and AEC software. We discuss Snaptrude's recent $14 million Series A raise to build a "Figma for 3D AEC" led by Foundamental and Accel, and how they aim to bring real-time collaboration to 3D design.
We also examine the frustrations with legacy construction tech vendors and their closed-off, desktop-centric tools. However, new startups have an opportunity to disrupt them by utilizing cloud, APIs, multiplayer, browser and better optimization for concurrency.
3D design startups in architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) can gain an edge through community building and embracing open source, compared to the incumbent's historical top-down approach. And workforce shrinkage means construction firms will double their software spend per user as they automate more workflows. New technologies are enabling the creation of next-gen construction platforms.
