Contineu Raises $1.2 Million in Seed Funding to Transform Construction Industry
Contineu, a pioneering deep-tech startup, has successfully secured $1.2 million in seed funding led by SenseAI Ventures, with participation from Piper Serica Angel Fund. This strategic investment will fuel Contineu’s mission to develop an AI-powered vertical data infrastructure stack tailored to the construction industry, automating quality monitoring, compliance checks, and site-level visibility on a large scale.
Founded in 2023 by visionary entrepreneurs Harshil Naik (CEO) and Kanao Ramesh (CTO), Contineu is revolutionizing the construction sector by eliminating manual data entry on job sites. Their proprietary platform ingeniously combines helmet-mounted 360° cameras with advanced 3D computer vision models to automatically capture on-site visuals and convert them into structured insights, starting with QA/QC detection and documentation.
“The construction industry is one of the largest yet least digitized sectors, making it ripe for AI transformation,” said Rahul Agarwalla, Managing Partner at SenseAI Ventures. “Contineu is not just digitizing processes; it’s creating the real-time data backbone that the industry has been lacking. Their AI-native, vertical-first approach embodies the kind of deep-tech innovation that we believe will define the next generation of global category leaders.”
Harshil Naik, Co-founder & CEO of Contineu, commented, “This funding comes at a critical juncture. We’ve established a strong foothold in solving quality control challenges and now have a clear trajectory into the broader construction data ecosystem. The partnership with SenseAI and Piper Serica brings not only funding but also strategic direction, AI insight, and operational support that will shape our next phase of growth.”
Kanao Ramesh, Co-founder & CTO, added, “Our long-term vision is to become the default data infrastructure layer for the global construction industry. We’re witnessing strong technical validation and commercial momentum. This funding enables us to double down on core engineering and build systems that scale real-time site intelligence globally.”
The funding will be instrumental in helping Contineu achieve its ambitious goals and transform the construction industry through cutting-edge technology.
