# Tangible

> Tangible is a San Francisco climate-tech company that turns static construction drawings and 3D models into live materials data. Its AI-powered platform reads Revit models and PDF drawings to give preconstruction teams structured quantities, cost, and EPD-backed embodied carbon in one place - so developers, contractors, and architects can see the carbon and cost impact of a design and cut both before a building is ever poured. Founded in 2021 by Anneli Tostar and Nicole Granath, Tangible has raised roughly $8.8M and counts builders like Skanska, Prologis, and Hensel Phelps among its users.

- **Founded:** 2021
- **Headquarters:** San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founders:** Anneli Tostar (Co-founder & CEO), Nicole Granath (Co-founder & COO)
- **Team size:** ~20 employees (11-50 range)
- **Products:** AI Takeoffs, Embodied Carbon Analysis, Design Comparison, Portfolio Reporting, Autodesk Construction Cloud Integration
- **Notable:** Raised roughly $8.8M total across pre-seed, seed, and a 2025 seed extension, Signed major builders including Skanska, Prologis, and Hensel Phelps, Launched an AI takeoff engine that reads Revit models and PDF drawings

## Products & services

- **AI Takeoffs** — Automatically extracts material quantities from Revit models and PDF drawings, classifying them by MasterFormat and Uniformat and linking each quantity back to the model geometry or drawing callout it came from.
- **Embodied Carbon Analysis** — Maps materials to third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to calculate embodied and whole-life carbon across A1-A5, B, and C lifecycle stages.
- **Design Comparison** — Lets teams compare design versions across SD, DD, and CD phases to see how cost and carbon change as a project evolves, and find opportunities to cut both.
- **Portfolio Reporting** — Aggregates carbon and materials performance across projects for portfolio-level benchmarking, sustainability reporting, and regulatory compliance.
- **Autodesk Construction Cloud Integration** — Connects directly to Autodesk Construction Cloud so materials data flows into existing preconstruction and estimating workflows, with export to Excel.

## Achievements

- Raised roughly $8.8M total across pre-seed, seed, and a 2025 seed extension
- Signed major builders including Skanska, Prologis, and Hensel Phelps
- Launched an AI takeoff engine that reads Revit models and PDF drawings

## Latest updates

- **2025-01** — Raised a $3M round co-led by Prologis Ventures and Pi Labs to expand embodied carbon measurement and reduction tools.
- **2024** — Launched AI takeoffs and an Autodesk Construction Cloud integration, repositioning around real-time materials data for preconstruction teams.
- **2023-05** — Closed a $3M seed round led by Foundamental to scale construction decarbonization.
