AI Startup Neuron Factory Secures $6 Million in Seed Funding, Strikes Strategic AI Collaboration with Leading Construction Firm Cordeel Group
Smart participation marks a significant stride in the evolution of an AI-enhanced construction industry
REDWOOD CITY, California, May 27, 2025 - Neuron Workshop, a visionary Silicon Valley AI startup dedicated to modernizing the construction sector through innovative AI software, disclosed its seed funding and a strategic union with Cordeel Group, a leading European construction powerhouse.
Neuron Workshop's AI teammate platform operates on a unique enterprise task graph - a dynamic system that meticulously maps tasks, roles, and knowledge across an organization. This facilitates AI agents to operate with intelligence within complex construction environments, enabling coherent collaboration, task assignment, and decision-making. In a field that heavily relies on a tangle of outdated tools, the company predicts that agentic AI teammates able to synchronize context-aware agents and empower teams to concentrate on their core competencies will augment overall efficiency in every phase of the construction process.
Neuron Workshop was brought to life by an accomplished team of technologists: Zaid Kahn, previously Vice President of Engineering at Microsoft; Salil Pandit, former Chief Product & Technology Officer at PrimaryBid and Lead Engineer at Waymo; and Tom De Raedt, founder of Escher Cloud. Their multifarious expertise encompasses AI systems, model training, and datacenter infrastructure - now directed towards modernizing enterprise work in construction.
The company unveiled $6 million in seed funding in an oversubscribed round, from Activant Capital, Colle Capital, Karman Ventures, Punch Capital, and strategic investors including Filip Cordeel, Chairman of Cordeel Group.
"The construction industry stands as one of the largest and most intricate global industries, yet it remains largely untouched by the transformative power of authentic AI," said Zaid Kahn, CEO and co-founder of Neuron Workshop. "We're thrilled to collaborate with Cordeel Group, a company that shares our vision of the transformative potential of AI. Cordeel's leadership and innovation are shaping the future of construction, and we're excited to support their journey with our AI teammate platform."
As the first construction company to implement Neuron Workshop's AI teammate platform, Cordeel is reaffirming its commitment to expediting project timelines, generating terrific returns for clients, and fostering a more sustainable construction environment. The AI platform, designed to seamlessly integrate with existing construction workflows, will help Cordeel accelerate project execution, optimize resource use, and establish the foundations for a new era of data-driven, transparent construction.
"Innovation at Cordeel Group isn't confined to a strategy - it serves as a catalyst for meaningful change and embodies our mission to build a greener, brighter, and more interconnected world for people and the planet," said Pascale Van Damme, CEO of Cordeel Group. "This partnership is a pivotal step forward in our pursuit to revolutionize the construction industry into a collaboration-driven, intelligent, and regenerative ecosystem. By embracing AI, we're not merely enhancing our operations - we're empowering our team members, reinforcing collaboration across the value chain, and creating the data backbone for transparent, traceable building passports that serve the EU's climate objectives. Together with Neuron Workshop, we are orchestrating a future where innovation empowers society, and progress is measured in the lasting value we create for generations to come."
"At Cordeel, we have long believed in the might of innovation to drive humanity's progress," said Filip Cordeel. "This alliance with Neuron Workshop is a testament to our resolve to utilize cutting-edge technology to create a more viable, sustainable, and future-proof construction industry. We are honored to spearhead this groundbreaking transformation, guided by a vision that will not merely elevate our projects but inspire lasting, positive change for our industry and our planet."
"We believe that Neuron Workshop is not building just another enterprise tool; they're forging a new way for people and AI to work together," said Victoria Grace, founding partner at Colle Capital. "Their strategy of weaving agentic intelligence through a task graph and orchestration - where AI agents don't simply assist but autonomously learn, adapt, and collaborate - is what the workforce of the future demands."
