MatBook, a construction‑tech startup connecting buyers directly with manufacturers, has raised $750,000 in a pre‑seed funding round. The round was led by Seedstars International Ventures, Fluent Ventures, and Everywhere Ventures, with additional participation from angel investors affiliated with Autodesk and Amazon.
MatBook offers an AI‑powered platform designed to simplify procurement for U.S. contractors and distributors. Key features include:
Pricing Predictions & Lead‑Time Optimization: Advanced AI models forecast material costs and delivery schedules.
Supplier Recommendations: Automated matching of buyers with vetted manufacturers.
Integrated Quality Control & Logistics: End‑to‑end tracking from factory to jobsite, reducing delays and defects.
The founders—Harsh Badera, Nasir Hussain, Raghav Malhotra, and Shubham Sharma—envision a construction marketplace where sourcing, shipping, and quality assurance occur seamlessly under one roof. To support rapid growth, MatBook will deploy the new capital toward technology enhancements, U.S. market expansion, and bolstering its sales, technology, and operations teams. The startup also plans to introduce credit solutions for buyers and broaden its network of sustainable manufacturers by offering Environmental Product Declarations.
MatBook enters a competitive landscape alongside BRKZ, OfBusiness, Moglix, and Infra.Market. Notably, BRKZ raised $8 million in March 2024 in a Series A led by 9900 and BECO Capital—underscoring investor confidence in digitizing construction supply chains.
“With this funding, we’re poised to tackle long‑standing inefficiencies in construction procurement,” said Harsh Badera, Co‑founder and CEO of MatBook. “Our vision is to deliver a one‑stop platform that brings transparency, reliability, and sustainability to every building project.”
