Cascade Raises $3.5M Seed
Cascade, a New York City based company providing an AI-driven pursuit platform for architecture, engineering, and construction firms, has raised $3.5 million in a seed funding round. The investment will be used to accelerate the adoption of the platform and expand the company's professional network within the construction industry.
The funding round was led by Andreessen Horowitz Speedrun, with participation from Ada Ventures, Blitzscaling Ventures, Indico Capital, shuckerVC, G2C Ventures, and Snowball VC.
Cascade plans to use the capital to accelerate adoption of its platform and deepen its network across the construction industry, facilitating connections for teaming, bidding, and regional expansion.

The platform analyzes diverse data sources such as bond filings, permits, and capital plans to match firms with projects they are most likely to win.
