Eric Wu, the former chief executive of Opendoor, is tackling the construction labor crisis with his new startup, NavigateAI, which has been operating publicly since May.
NavigateAI is developing AI-driven copilots that provide construction workers with real-time, hands-free guidance delivered via smartphones and Meta's AI smart glasses. The technology aims to boost productivity directly on job sites.
The venture secured $25 million in funding from investor Elad Gil, venture capital firm Khosla Ventures, and homebuilder Lennar. The platform enters the market as major developments, such as data center builds, face acute labor shortages requiring 4,000 to 5,000 workers per site.
