LeanCon, an AI startup working to solve a major bottleneck in the construction industry, has raised $6 million, doubling its initial Seed funding goal.
The funding round was led by Ibex Investors, with participation from Fusion VC, Newman Architects, TCA LA, Connecticut Innovations, Siegel Capital, and several construction-focused angel investors, including Phil Bernstein, former Autodesk executive and Deputy Dean at Yale School of Architecture.
LeanCon was founded by engineers Ziv Levi and Sapir Tubul and is positioning itself as the world’s first AI-powered pre-construction engineering team.
The company offers a platform designed to transform one of the construction industry’s slowest and most complex phases—pre-construction planning—into a fast, data-driven workflow. Traditionally, planning for bids can take months, with teams evaluating hundreds of opportunities and only a few moving forward.
LeanCon’s AI system reduces this process to around seven minutes, producing detailed projections on costs, schedules, logistics, and construction methods.
The company says its approach cuts planning costs from roughly $2 million to near zero, while boosting efficiency, win rates, and the volume of projects firms can realistically pursue. Its technology is already deployed across $650 million in development projects in New York.
“Construction projects are simply too complex to plan optimally and, until now, the system wasn’t built for that complexity,” said CEO and Co-Founder Ziv Levi. “LeanCon has rebuilt construction planning with AI and will ultimately save project teams time and money while simultaneously winning more development bids.”
