Congrats to @usevesta on turning 4! They're re-writing core architecture for an enormous industry (mortgage! 🏡) with exceptional founders @michael_yu @ydev.
They've signed marquee customers in the last year and are actively hiring. We @a16z led the Series A and are excited to continuing partnering for years to come, and to share apparently the only photo the founders have ever taken together (see below). cc @astrange
📢 So thrilled to announce that we @a16z are leading @WithPantheon's latest round and that they are officially launching!
Pantheon is an AI-enabled architectural firm that delivers what you would expect from a traditional firm, but with a level of speed and service that was not possible prior to recent breakthroughs in AI.
Architects are currently limited in how much time they can spend on creative work due to the repetitive tasks involved in their day-to-day (e.g., drawing walls and lines in industry software tools).
Pantheon accelerates this and can generate editable 3D building models – complete with walls, room elements (e.g., cabinets), building materials, etc. This means that much of the repetitive work that used to take architects days or weeks can now be done far more efficiently; Pantheon then sells these deliverables directly to property developers & owners, instead of selling software to architects themselves.
I've known the co-founders David Mace and Tiger Sun for years. They are both distinctly technical, driven, and passionate about solving problems for customers in the physical world. David is a successful second-time founder, and Tiger was one of the strongest engineers at @scale_AI. They work exceptionally hard – so much so that they have the proud distinction of not even being on Twitter!
Most of the discussion in generative AI has been focused on the world of bits, but there is just as much potential in the world of atoms. If you’re interested in working on the future of the built world, they’re hiring!
