Summary
$3.5 million in seed funding from Andreessen Horowitz Speedrun, Ada Ventures and Snowball VC will help Cascade expand a platform that helps architecture, engineering and construction firms find and win work.
Launched in 2025, Cascade targets a fragmented bidding process in which contractors must search separate city, state, county and federal portals to track opportunities.
Its AI ranks projects a customer is most likely to win and uses prior tender data and signals such as a $100 million housing grant to predict which developers may secure upcoming deals.
The startup says Speedrun helped it land contracts with firms tied to JFK and LaGuardia airports, Four Seasons hotels and data centers; the new cash will fund go-to-market efforts, events and engineering hires.
Cascade is competing with GovWin IQ and ConstructConnect by pitching a more AI-native model that improves as customers feed back bid results.
