Klutch AI Emerges from Stealth with $8M Seed to Bring Intelligent AI Agents to Construction Teams
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Klutch AI, which provides AI-powered construction management, launched publicly today and announced $8 million in seed funding. The round was led by Bain Capital Ventures and Bling Capital, with participation from Brick & Mortar Ventures, Original Capital, Anthology Fund and prominent angel investors from Autodesk and BuildZoom. With these funds, Klutch will advance workflow automation capabilities and build integrations with industry-standard tools to serve the broader construction market.
Construction projects frequently suffer from delays, data fragmentation, and rework due to communication gaps between the field and the office. Despite widespread adoption of project management software, 96% of construction data remains unused. Project managers lose hours each day to manual inputs, and critical decisions suffer from fragmented or inaccessible information.
Klutch addresses this knowledge gap by embedding field-tested AI agents that automate tasks like permit review, takeoffs and estimates, jobsite documentation, and vendor coordination—reducing manual work while improving project outcomes. Unlike AI that stops at GPT-powered copilots, Klutch agents orchestrate end-to-end workflows and advanced analytics. The agents pull jobsite updates, flag issues and surface vendor insights from photos, texts, calls and emails.
Teams across residential and commercial construction can deploy Klutch as a complete construction management platform or integrate it seamlessly with their existing platforms and tools. With Klutch, construction teams save 10+ hours per week while unlocking higher-quality data to drive smarter decisions across every phase of a project. Early customers are already accelerating timelines, cutting manual work, reducing site visits and derisking millions with Klutch's AI agents. Key offerings include:
Archie AI: Automates zoning and permit review for architecture and planning
Bob AI: Captures 10x more jobsite data (e.g. photos, punch items, safety issues) in 10% of the time via SMS and WhatsApp for construction management
Petra AI: Automates takeoffs, estimates, bid leveling, and vendor scoring for procurement
Hailey AI: Manages warranty tickets and links issues to vendor performance for a better homeowner experience
Custom Workflows: Tailored agents for specific business processes
Klutch was founded by Xu Rui, CEO, and Tanin Na Nakorn, CTO. Xu Rui grew up on construction sites and later ran her own real estate investment company, experiencing firsthand how field teams still rely on photos and messages while office tools leaped ahead. Both previously worked at Stripe, where they led ML-driven analytics and revenue products. Together, they recognized an opportunity to bring the same intelligent workflows to construction. They built Klutch around the simple idea that the best AI doesn't feel like tech - it feels like second nature.
'The future of construction isn't forcing field teams to adopt complex software—it's AI that works within their existing habits,' said Xu Rui, cofounder and CEO of Klutch. 'Our early customers are already capturing 10x more jobsite data while saving hours on repetitive work, and making faster, data-backed decisions. With this funding, we're building an AI workforce that transforms how the built world gets built, one workflow at a time.'
"Construction is one of the largest, least-digitized sectors in the economy,' said Kevin Zhang, Partner at Bain Capital Ventures. 'Xu Rui's experience running a property management business, combined with a world-class product mindset, positions her to transform one of the biggest untapped markets in enterprise software. We're eager to back Xu Rui and the Klutch team as they modernize residential and commercial construction."
'There are many legacy point solutions in the construction industry today. With AI advancements, there is an opening to build a compound startup,' said Ben Ling, Founder & General Partner at Bling Capital. 'We've seen this before as early investors in Rippling and Palantir, and we're excited to partner with Klutch to pursue this opportunity in the $2T construction market.'

"As we enter a new fiscal year, we are turning the page and the next step is aligning our teams to lead with sport through what we are calling the sport offense.

Revenues for the NIKE Brand were $10.8 billion, down 11 percent on a reported and currency-neutral basis, driven by declines across all geographies.

Wholesale revenues for the fourth quarter were $6.4 billion, down 9 percent on a reported and currency-neutral basis.

The effective tax rate was 17.1 percent, compared to 14.9 percent for the same period last year, primarily due to changes in earnings mix, decreased benefits from stock-based compensation and non-recurring one-time benefits in the prior year, partially offset by a one-time, non-cash deferred tax benefit provided by US tax regulations related to foreign currency gains and losses. Net income was $3.2 billion, down 44 percent, and Diluted earnings per share was $2.16, a decrease of 42 percent.
