OpenSpace, the 'Google Street View of construction,' called a game changer

A San Francisco-based construction tech startup that recently received a $14 million stamp of approval from investors is also impressing the construction managers who use its software. OpenSpace, maker of an artificial intelligence-driven technology that captures and analyzes construction site data, received the capital infusion this summer. Investors include co-working giant WeWork as well as two well-known industry stalwarts with experience using the platform: Suffolk Construction and real estate developer Tishman Speyer. The financing marks the company's first raise since it closed on a $3.5 million seed round after its founding in September 2017. The software uses artificial intelligence to create navigable, 360-degree photo representations of a site.
