AI-powered solutions developer optimizing concrete production for concrete producers, focused on cost and sustainability.
Based in Richmond, California, AICrete develops artificial intelligence software and robotics solutions designed to optimize concrete and aggregate production for the global construction materials sector. The company provides a business-to-business technology platform, AICreteOS, which allows ready-mix concrete producers and precast manufacturers to automate quality control, lower material costs, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Operating its systems across 220 industrial plants, the enterprise completed 32 customer mixture optimizations throughout 2023, averaging three dollars in cost savings and a 42-pound greenhouse gas reduction per cubic yard. The twelve-employee startup has raised nine million dollars in total venture capital funding across multiple seed rounds to scale its recipe-as-a-service model. The company's financial backers include recognizable institutional venture investors such as VoLo Earth Ventures, Clear Vision Investment, and Cortical Ventures. AICrete was originally founded in 2020 by chief executive officer Parham Aghdasi.
AICrete has raised $9.0M across 2 funding rounds.

AICrete is a technology company that builds AICreteOS, an AI-powered operating system for optimizing concrete and aggregate production. It serves concrete producers and heavy building materials companies, solving problems like inconsistent quality, rising costs, fragmented systems, and waste through real-time insights, automation, and quality control.[1][2][3] The platform integrates data, enables hassle-free calibration via contactless sensors, enhances material quality, and promotes sustainability by reducing waste, with features like the upcoming AggSense tool for operational intelligence launching in early 2025.[1] Since its 2020 founding in Richmond, California, AICrete has shown growth momentum, including the 2023 launch of AICreteOS, team expansion to 12 members, and customer adoption driving efficiency and ROI with zero upfront fees.[1][3][4]
AICrete was founded in 2020 by Parham Aghdasi, its CEO, in Richmond, California, with a focus on AI-driven solutions for the concrete and aggregates industry.[1] The idea emerged from recognizing longstanding challenges in heavy building materials production—such as inconsistent quality, escalating costs, and disjointed operations—prompting the development of AICreteOS as the first unified operating system for the sector.[2] Early traction built through innovation in AI, machine learning, and robotics to create cost-effective, durable, sustainable concrete, culminating in the pivotal 2023 launch of AICreteOS, which integrated seamlessly with customer operations and expanded the team to support growth.[1][4][5]
AICrete rides the wave of AI adoption in construction and heavy materials, a sector ripe for disruption due to its reliance on outdated processes amid rising sustainability demands and labor shortages. Timing aligns with global pushes for green building—reducing concrete's massive carbon footprint (8% of emissions)—as market forces like material cost inflation and regulatory pressures favor efficient, data-driven solutions.[1][2] By enabling precise production and waste reduction, AICrete influences the ecosystem, empowering producers to bid on more projects, enhance outcomes, and set standards for AI in built environments, potentially accelerating industry-wide digital transformation.[1][3]
AICrete is poised to scale with AggSense's early 2025 rollout, deepening AI integration for aggregates and expanding AICreteOS features amid trends like robotics in manufacturing and net-zero construction mandates. Its influence may grow by partnering with larger producers, influencing supply chains toward sustainability. As AI reshapes heavy industry, AICrete's operator-first model positions it to capture market share, redefining efficiency from the ground up—much like its platform optimizes concrete production.[1][4]
AICrete has raised $9.0M across 2 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $5.0M Seed in September 2024.
