# ICON

> Austin-based ICON combines construction-scale robots, software, architecture, engineering and cementitious materials to print wall systems for homes and other structures. After proving the method through projects including Wolf Ranch, Community First! Village, military facilities and a NASA habitat, the company is broadening its model: it builds projects itself, sells homes, takes government contracts and now offers its Titan construction system to outside builders.

- **Headquarters:** Austin, Texas, United States
- **Founders:** Jason Ballard (Co-founder and CEO), Alex Le Roux (Co-founder), Evan Loomis (Co-founder)
- **Team size:** Just over 250 employees as of April 2026; LinkedIn lists the company in the 201-500 employee band.
