LeanCon Takes on Pre-Construction Planning Problems

Published by www.calcalistech.com on December 1, 2025.

LeanCon, an AI startup seeking to overhaul one of the construction industry’s most entrenched bottlenecks, has raised a total of $6 million, doubling its original Seed target. The round was led by Ibex Investors, with participation from Fusion VC, Newman Architects, TCA LA, Connecticut Innovations, Siegel Capital, and a group of sector-focused angel investors, including Phil Bernstein, former Autodesk executive and Deputy Dean at the Yale School of Architecture.

Founded by engineers Ziv Levi and Sapir Tubul, LeanCon is positioning itself as the world’s first AI-powered pre-construction engineering team, offering a platform that aims to convert one of the industry’s slowest, most complex phases into a rapid, data-driven workflow. Pre-construction planning for bids typically spans months, with teams evaluating hundreds of opportunities and seeing only a small fraction materialize. LeanCon’s system compresses that process to about seven minutes, generating detailed projections on cost, schedule, logistics, and construction methods.
