Motif Raises $46 Million from CapitalG and Redpoint to Revolutionize The AEC Software Industry
Motif, a startup founded in 2023 by design software luminaries Amar Hanspal and Brian Mathews, has secured $46 million in seed and Series A funding to develop a next-generation platform for buildings. The Series A was led by Alphabet’s independent growth fund, CapitalG, and the previously undisclosed Seed round was led by Redpoint Ventures. Pre-seed venture firm Baukunst participated in both rounds.
Amar Hanspal, former Co-CEO and CPO of Autodesk, and Brian Mathews, former VP of Platform Engineering at Autodesk, aim to modernize the $8 billion AEC software industry dominated by legacy 20th century technology. “This is a massive market, but it’s also massively complex and requires absolute precision. We’ve hired a team of experts in the fields of cloud computing, machine learning and BIM with meaningful experience at companies including Autodesk, OnShape, Twitter, Vimeo and Tesla,” said Brian Mathews, Motif co-founder and CTO. “Together we’re tackling some of the hardest– and most exciting–technical frontiers in software”
