Leo AI is a Cambridge, Massachusetts company building what it calls the world's first AI purpose-built for mechanical engineering. Its engineering design co-pilot, powered by a proprietary Large Mechanical Model (LMM) trained on millions of real-world products and engineering standards, turns text, sketches and specifications into production-ready 3D CAD models. Leo integrates with CAD and PDM systems to answer technical questions, source parts, run mechanical calculations and generate design concepts, and says it helps teams cut engineering time by up to 70%.
Offsight is a San Francisco software company building a project management and production platform for the offsite construction, modular and prefab industry. Its mobile-first software helps factories and specialty contractors track production, quality, materials and labor in real time - replacing the spreadsheets that engineered-to-order manufacturers have long relied on. Founded in 2014 by Vikas Murali and Andrew Xue, the company raised a $2.5M seed round and counts large builders like Performance Contracting Inc., McCarthy Building Companies and Z Modular among its customers.
Vikas Murali is the co-founder and CEO of Offsight, a San Francisco software company that gives prefab, modular and offsite construction factories real-time visibility into production, quality, materials and labor. A University of Pennsylvania systems engineer who cut his teeth shipping enterprise software at Texas Instruments and Barclays, Murali spent years as a consultant watching engineered-to-order manufacturers run multimillion-dollar projects on brittle spreadsheets. In 2020 he and co-founder Andrew Xue built Offsight to replace those spreadsheets with mobile-first tracking, betting that the factories building the future of housing need to prove they actually deliver on speed, cost and quality.
