Attentive.ai, a startup specializing in vertical software for the landscaping and construction sectors in the United States, has secured $7 million in its latest funding round. The investment, led by Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia and India, marks a significant milestone for the company as it aims to bolster its AI-driven offerings and extend its reach to more businesses.
This Series A funding round, which comes after an initial $5 million seed investment, also saw participation from existing investors, including Peak XV’s Surge and InfoEdge Ventures. Tenacity Ventures, a Mumbai-based investment firm, has also joined the fray with a secondary investment.
Landscaping and construction services traditionally rely on manual measurements, incurring labor and operational costs. Whether it’s site measurement or maintenance planning, businesses expend considerable resources estimating costs, materials, and project durations. Inaccurate estimates can lead to both overbidding and underbidding, affecting revenue targets. With the real estate industry expanding, there’s a growing demand for tech-driven solutions to streamline operations and reduce costs. Attentive.ai’s AI and computer vision capabilities are well-positioned to address these needs.
Founded in April 2021, Attentive.ai, headquartered in Delaware with an office in Noida, India, focuses primarily on the North American market. It provides an end-to-end business management platform with AI-powered workflows designed to automate processes for landscaping and construction companies. Already adopted by major industry players such as Juniper, U.S. Lawns, Beary Landscaping, Greenscape, Nanak, and East Coast Facilities, the platform enables companies to save time and make more informed bids for outdoor contracts.
One of Attentive.ai’s flagship offerings is Automeasure, an automation tool that facilitates automated site measurements for landscape, paving, facilities maintenance, and snow management services. Using a user-friendly interface reminiscent of Google Maps, companies can obtain property measurements—whether commercial, retail chains, or housing societies—by searching for a specific address and defining lot boundaries according to their requirements. Additionally, the tool allows users to upload blueprints in PDF format, enabling the software to calculate material quantities based on site size and other parameters. The platform also includes a dedicated on-site assistance app that enables operations teams to add notes to site maps by geotagging site data and provides ground staff with real-time access to data while on the move.
Attentive.ai’s innovative solutions aim to revolutionize the landscaping and construction industry by streamlining processes, reducing costs, and improving overall efficiency. With this latest funding injection, the company is well-positioned to further enhance its offerings and expand its footprint in the market.
