BST Global spent five decades helping architects and engineers record what happened. Its newer bet is harder and more useful: predict the project that is about to miss its margin while there is still time to fix it.
The West Chester firm turned the least glamorous part of construction - coordinating dozens of disciplines across hundreds of sites - into a growth engine for Fortune 500 clients. Its next test is whether $210 million of patient capital can scale that playbook without sanding off the local expertise that makes it work.
Nomic AI is a New York-based artificial intelligence company building tools to make large, unstructured datasets and AI models understandable and usable by everyone. It is best known for Atlas, a browser-based platform for visualizing and interacting with massive datasets; the open-source Nomic Embed family of text, code, and multimodal embedding models; and GPT4All, an ecosystem for running large language models privately on everyday hardware. Since 2025 the company has focused its platform on the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector, applying its embedding and retrieval technology to drawing review, code compliance, and document-heavy construction workflows.
Structured AI builds an AI workforce for construction design engineering. Its computer-vision platform reviews technical drawings and construction documents the way spell-check reviews text - flagging code violations, cross-discipline clashes, and compliance gaps while leaving final calls to humans. Founded in 2025 by Oxford graduates and backed by Y Combinator, the New York company sells QA/QC automation to architecture, engineering, and construction firms.
