Dump Trucks Columbus OH Insight:

A report by real estate services firm Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) in July found that venture capitalists injected $1 billion into construction technology startups in just the first half of this year — a sum exceeding last year’s investment by 30%. That same report named Procore, along with Katerra and Uptake Technologies, as "unicorns," or startups valued at more than $1 billion. At the time of the report, Procore had secured $180 million in funding. 

The JLL report also revealed that collaboration software and project management purveyors accounted for 112 startups, followed by 50 focused on offsite techniques and almost 40 mobile-centric startups. “Offsite construction, cloud-based software and new, tech-focused hardware are capturing the largest investor dollars and customer bases,” the report said. “Artificial intelligence and big data solutions are a close second, but are positioned to make even larger impacts.”

In January it raised $865 million in Series D funding, led by SoftBank Vision Fund, then went on to add six new firms under its umbrella.
