Agave
Applied AI for Construction
About
Agave builds applied AI for construction, a $12T global industry run on financial software built 20-50 years ago, much of it on-prem with no APIs and no documentation.
We spent 4 years building proprietary rails that read and write across those systems. Our AI agents run on those rails and take over the back-office work contractors still do by hand: invoice matching, expenses, compliance, billing, and financial reporting. Contractors keep the systems they already use; our agents work across them.
600+ contractors run on Agave, including teams building hyperscaler data centers, mass transit systems, and other critical infrastructure. We're backed by Accel and Y Combinator, who both reinvested in our $15M Series A, plus execs from Procore, Autodesk, PlanGrid, and Plaid.
Our three co-founders have worked together for 12+ years, across Graphiq (acquired by Amazon in 2017) and Amazon, and started Agave in YC's W22 batch.
