MatBook Raises $750K to Streamline Construction Procurement with AI
MatBook is a tech-powered platform revolutionizing global construction material procurement by making it faster, smarter, and more cost-effective.
MatBook, the construction tech startup modernizing how materials are sourced and delivered, just announced a $750,000 pre-seed funding round led by Seedstars International Ventures, Fluent Ventures, Everywhere Ventures, and a group of strategic angel investors from Autodesk, Amazon, and beyond.
Founded by Harsh Badera, Nasir Hussain, Raghav Malhotra, and Shubham Sharma, MatBook is solving one of the construction industry’s biggest pain points: an outdated, inefficient procurement process riddled with inflated prices, unreliable supply chains, and too many middlemen.
“When we started MatBook, the mission was clear: make global construction procurement seamless and transparent,” the founders shared on LinkedIn. “This raise helps us move faster, build smarter, and deliver on the vision.”
A Tech-Driven Approach to Sourcing Materials
MatBook’s platform connects U.S. contractors and distributors directly with vetted manufacturers, cutting out layers of intermediaries and bringing more transparency to pricing and delivery timelines. Their end-to-end solution covers everything from sourcing and quality control to shipping logistics and financing.
At the heart of MatBook’s offering are their growing AI capabilities, designed to:
Predict pricing trends
Optimize lead times
Recommend the best suppliers for each project
The company is also adding credit solutions and expanding its network of manufacturers, aiming to serve a $1.2 trillion U.S. construction market that is hungry for efficiency and cost savings.
Sustainability in Focus
For buyers looking to meet green building standards, MatBook provides Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), making it easier to source sustainable materials and document carbon footprints—a rising priority in the construction sector.
Competition and the Road Ahead
MatBook enters a competitive but fast-evolving space, going head-to-head with players like BRKZ, OfBusiness, Moglix, and Infra.Market. (Notably, BRKZ raised an $8 million Series A round earlier this year.)
With fresh funding in hand, MatBook plans to expand its U.S. footprint, grow its team across sales, technology, and operations, and accelerate the development of its AI tools—moving closer to a future where construction procurement is as seamless and tech-enabled as any modern marketplace.
