New Enterprise Associates (NEA) leads investment into H2Corporation to accelerate US growth

Tokyo, Japan — H2Corporation, the developer of the world’s most advanced AI platform for construction takeoffs, estimation, and order management, today announced the close of its Pre-Series A Extension funding round. The round was led by NEA (New Enterprise Associates), the $28B AUM global venture capital firm, with participation from all existing investors, including Spiral Capital, JAFCO, MetaProp, One Capital, and Boost Capital.

This investment marks a pivotal moment not just for H2Corporation, but for the global construction technology landscape. It validates our conviction that the largest enterprises in the industry require domain-specific AI and a fully integrated, customizable suite of systems of record, rather than cookie-cutter SaaS solutions.

The First of Its Kind. The Best in the World.

The construction industry faces a universal challenge: it is one of the largest sectors in the global economy, yet it remains one of the least digitized and automated. For decades, "innovation" has meant slightly better spreadsheets, clunky legacy software, and rigid SaaS products.

H2Corporation is changing that.

Our flagship product, AISekisan Platform (AISP), is the culmination of work with the industry's largest materials and component manufacturers, distributors, general contractors, and trades. AISP is an AI-native system of record for construction quoting and ordering. It is an integrated suite of modules that powers automation and risk reduction across takeoff, quoting and orders workflow.

Customers rely on AISP to power hundreds of thousands of takeoffs and quotes, allowing them to replace legacy systems faster and more cost-efficiently than ever before. 

Hyper-Growth and Global Ambition

In the last year, H2Corporation has experienced significant growth, expanding 500% year-over-year, with projections to exceed 300% growth in the coming year. Our technology has become the standard for major construction materials manufacturers, distributors, general contractors, and sub-contractors.

Although our roots are in Japan, our vision has never been limited to Japan.

"From day one, we built this company to be a global leader," said Hiro Kawashima, CEO of H2Corporation. "The problems we are solving—labor shortages, workflow inefficiencies, and constraints imposed by legacy systems—are not unique to Japan; they are global crises. With the support of NEA, we strive to become the backbone of construction globally."

Partnering with the Best

The participation of NEA, a firm that has backed technology titans like Salesforce, Databricks, and Cloudflare, signals a strong vote of confidence in H2Corporation’s technology and global potential.

“H2Corporation is tackling one of the most persistent pain points in the global construction industry—manual, error-prone takeoffs and estimations that waste time and resources amid severe labor shortages. With their proprietary AI models achieving 99% accuracy and 10x efficiency gains, H2 has built a vertical platform that’s not just innovative, but essential for enterprises looking to modernize. Hiro and Tung’s complementary expertise, combined with rapid traction in Japan and clear paths to US expansion, positions H2 to become the de facto standard worldwide. We’re thrilled to lead this round and partner with them to scale this transformative technology.” said Andrew Schoen, Partner at NEA.

What This Funding Means

We will use this capital to accelerate our mission: To build technologies that can make construction 10X more efficient.

• Global Expansion: We are expanding our forward-deployed engineering and customer success presence in the US ten-fold and will strengthen our platform offerings specifically for the US construction market.
• Product Dominance: We will double down on core R&D to further improve the efficacy of our proprietary AI models and algorithms. We will continue to expand feature sets and modules within AISP to ensure it remains the most reliable and outcomes-driven platform in the world.
• Hiring the Best: We are aggressively hiring AI and software engineers, product managers, and global go-to-market leaders who want to solve the hardest problems and build technologies beyond the reach of foundation models.

We are H2Corporation.
