Category I: Connected Data

The finalists include:

  • Datagrid (San Francisco, USA): Datagrid is the AI Agent that gets work done for you. Instead of just answering questions, Datagrid’s agents take action—automating entire workflows across your tools, files, and systems. Whether it’s searching through documents to find answers, cross-referencing data to uncover gaps, or running a financial analysis that updates your Excel file—Datagrid does the work, so you don’t have to. You get your time back. Datagrid connects to over 100 platforms and 2,000+ APIs—Excel, Google Docs, SharePoint, Slack, PDFs, websites, and more. It handles multi-modal problems such as unstructured data like images and documents, as well as entire databases with ease, and communicates through channels like Teams, Slack, or SMS. It’s built for trust and precision: agents cite their sources and operate safely in real-time. Enterprise teams get full control with teamspaces, RBAC, and usage reports. You can customize everything—launch fast on your own, or partner with our expert team.
  • Genda Inc (Austin, USA): Provides AI-powered real-time visibility into the location and utilization of labor and equipment on construction sites through a multi-purpose field app, improving productivity and safety while minimizing risk.
  • Join (Oakland, USA): A collaborative software for managing design and preconstruction that unites contractors, owners, and design teams around cost, timeline, and design clarity. It helps manage thousands of decisions to align stakeholders and decisions in real-time.
  • Kamai (Tel Aviv, Israel): Kamai is the AI Co-Pilot for contractors – built to automate blueprint takeoffs, extract quantities, and streamline estimates, all from a single PDF.
  • Permio (Denver, USA): An AI-native platform transforming the construction permitting process. Mio, Permio’s intelligent assistant, identifies the correct agencies, checks zoning requirements, provides necessary forms, and answers code questions in real time. The result is faster approvals, fewer errors, and greater project confidence.
  • TestFit (Dallas, TX, USA): TestFit’s real estate feasibility platform makes it easy to do site planning. Our real-time AI iterates rapidly to optimize for the best use of land.

Category II: Connected Design

The finalists include:

  • Kestrel Labs (Denver, CO, USA): Kestrel Labs is redefining code compliance as a catalyst for better design. Kestrel Labs gives architects and builders real-time clarity on what the rules allow — so they can design boldly without wasting time, redoing work, or compromising intent. Instead of reviewing compliance after the fact, Kestrel moves it upstream, embedding it directly into the creative process. Our platform serves as the connective layer between design teams, developers, and regulators — making building codes clear, actionable, and aligned from concept to construction.
  • KOPE AI (London, UK & Denver, US): KOPE is a software platform that enables Productization within the construction industry. Utilising cutting edge computational technology, KOPE allows you to apply real-world building products directly to projects, instantly. With design and fabrication truly connected, significant time and effort is saved when designing, detailing, pricing and fabricating projects.
  • NavLive (Oxford, UK): Develops an AI-powered handheld scanner for construction that generates real-time 2D and 3D models, instant 3D Point Cloud Data, and high-definition photography using LiDAR and AI processing.
  • Qonic (Ghent, Belgium): A lightning-fast, cloud-based BIM modeling platform for seamless collaboration and unmatched accuracy in the AEC industry. It allows users to create 3D models, enhance BIM data, collaborate, coordinate, and generate custom reports directly from a web browser.
  • Qubu (Bratislava, Slovakia, EU): Provides generative architecture, engineering, and construction software to design and build multi-family real estate, offering instant evaluations and actionable data insights into viability, architecture, structural, compliance, and energy aspects.
  • SWAPP (Tel Aviv, Israel): Integrates advanced AI with human expertise to automate architectural documentation and modeling tasks, reducing documentation time by up to 50%, enhancing accuracy and consistency, and freeing up architects to focus on creative design.
  • Ulama (Brooklyn, NY, USA): Offers AI-powered software for architects that automates code compliance analysis of architectural designs, aiming to unblock building permitting bottlenecks and cut the time to permit issuance by 60%.

Category III: Connected Field or Jobsite

The finalists include:

  • Now Vision (London, UK): Aims to automate construction monitoring by comparing site conditions with plans, schedules, and project documents in real-time, allowing AI to detect deviations early, generate instant reports, and ensure compliance, quality, and safety. Now Vision has not yet raised funds.
  • Sensori (Wellington, New Zealand): Provides a photogrammetry-based capture system that enables quick creation, access, and sharing of accurate point scans and thousands of site images directly through a web browser for pre-construction, communication, and as-built documentation. Sensori has raised Pre-Seed funding.
  • Mechasys (Montreal, Canada): Mechasys is a global technology company pioneering Projected Reality solutions for the construction and manufacturing industries. Our mission is to bring precision within reach of every industrial worker by delivering the simplest, most reliable tools on the market. We design and manufacture high-performance robotic laser projectors that display blueprints at true 1:1 scale with millimetric accuracy—on any surface, in any environment.

Trimble was thrilled to host the Trimble 0-60 Challenge finalists at our HQ in Westminster, CO, for an intensive two-day challenge kick-off event on July 8th and 9th. This pivotal gathering provided a unique opportunity for each startup to collaborate directly with Trimble’s leadership, engineering, product management, and UI/UX teams. The synergy between these innovative companies and our internal experts laid the groundwork for exciting advancements within the AECO industry, leveraging advanced AI and Agentic technologies to deliver new value to customers and expand the Trimble ecosystem.

Special thanks to our Trimble 0-60 Challenge partners, AWS, NVIDIA and Softserve to name a few!
