Buildots, an Israeli company that uses computer vision to track progress on construction sites, said on September 14, 2026 that it had raised $130m. The round, which did not carry a series name, was led by O.G. Venture Partners, the firm backed by Eyal Ofer.
Lightspeed Venture Partners, Intel Capital, Mohari Ventures, Human Capital, Qumra Capital, Viola Growth, Poalim Equity and investor Avigdor Willenz also took part, with Human Capital and Mohari Ventures joining as new backers. Existing investors TLV Partners, Future Energy Ventures, Maor Investments and Tidhar were also named in the announcement.
Buildots did not disclose a valuation. Calcalist reported that the round pushed the company's valuation to an estimated $1bn, and Dealroom quoted chief executive Roy Danon as saying it was close to $1bn. The company has now raised $297m in total.
“It will soon be inconceivable that anyone managed a construction portfolio without Buildots,”Roy Danon, CEO and Co-founder, Buildots
What Buildots does
Buildots was founded in 2018 by Roy Danon, now chief executive, Yakir Sudry, the chief technology officer, and Aviv Leibovici, the chief product officer, all graduates of Israel's Talpiot military technology programme. Ynetnews described the company as based in Tel Aviv.
Its software combines site video and imagery with project schedules and 3D models to build a continuously updated digital twin of each project, so that managers can compare what has been built against the plan. The company said it draws on eight years of site data it has collected.
Buildots said it works with more than 100 large firms. Named customers include Intel, Digital Realty, JE Dunn, Mortenson, Bouygues, HOCHTIEF, STO Building Group and Turner Construction, and in Israel Tidhar, Ashtrom, Azrieli and Mivne. The company said seven-figure, multi-year agreements covering whole portfolios have become the norm.
Calcalist reported that the software is increasingly used on large data center projects, where delays are especially costly. Danon said the blind spot Buildots addresses on a data center is the same one that has long affected schools and hospitals.
Who invested
Calcalist reported that the round was entirely primary capital, with no secondary share sales, and was funded wholly through equity rather than debt.
Ziv Kop, managing partner at O.G. Venture Partners, compared Buildots' role in construction to the one Mobileye once played in transport, according to Calcalist. In the announcement he said the winners in a market build the foundational technology layer that others come to depend on.
Growth and plans
Buildots did not disclose revenue but said it has tripled revenue each year for several years. Danon told Calcalist that revenue tripled last year and would grow at the same pace this year.
The company has more than 400 employees, according to Calcalist and Bizportal, about 260 of them in Israel, around 100 in the United States and the rest in Canada, the UK, France, Germany and Denmark.
Buildots said it will use the money to expand into more large portfolios in North America and EMEA, to cover more of the construction lifecycle from bidding to handover, and to add business-level intelligence for executives.
Its previous round, according to Calcalist, was $45m raised about a year and a half earlier at a valuation of roughly $300m. Runtimewire's source list refers to that raise as a Series D.
