A new AI push for America’s next infrastructure boom
Unlimited Industries has secured $12 million in fresh funding as the U.S. enters a massive new era of infrastructure building. The company wants to fix a sector that has grown slower and more expensive over decades. And now, its AI-first approach is attracting some of the biggest names in venture capital.
Andreessen Horowitz and CIV lead the charge
The round was co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and CIV, with support from several industry investors. The capital will help Unlimited Industries expand quickly and strengthen its AI platform. The company claims this platform can cut millions in costs and shrink pre-construction timelines from months to days.
AI becomes the new construction engine
Unlike traditional engineering firms, Unlimited Industries designs and builds with AI at the core. The system generates thousands of design configurations instantly and finds layouts that score best for cost, safety, and speed. Moreover, this removes the slow handoffs that often drag large industrial projects.
As a result, teams can iterate without paying extra for redesigns. The platform learns from every project and improves its models automatically.
A founder who saw the system break
CEO Alex Modon entered industrial construction only to find inefficiency everywhere. Projects took years. Tools didn’t connect. Decisions never moved fast. This frustration led to Unlimited Industries, which attempts to build the physical world just like software.
Modon later teamed up with Tara Viswanathan and Jordan Stern, who earlier scaled Rupa Health to millions in revenue.
Real-world results already showing up
On one industrial project, Unlimited Industries cut engineering time from six months to mere weeks. On another, its AI explored tens of thousands of designs and found one that reduced costs by over 50 percent. Each project teaches the system more, making it faster with every build.
The company now focuses on critical areas like data centers, power projects, advanced manufacturing, and minerals.
A shift in incentives for the whole industry
Traditional firms earn from delays and change orders. Unlimited Industries flips that model. Its integrated teams work toward measurable outcomes, not time spent. This aligns incentives around speed and accuracy.
Investors see this shift as overdue. Andreessen Horowitz partner Katherine Boyle called it a “paradigm shift.” CIV’s Abhijoy Mitra said AI is essential to meet today’s infrastructure demand.
Building America like software
Unlimited Industries wants to rebuild U.S. construction around AI-driven speed and adaptability. With this funding, the company aims to make large projects faster, cheaper, and more ambitious — and bring America back to building at scale.
