About Ironsite

Construction is one of the most complex and labor-intensive industries, spending $7 trillion annually on labor, but productivity losses cost $1.6 trillion per year due to outdated management tools. Ironsite leverages wearable cameras combined with human labeling and AI vision language models to drive on-site productivity, safety & training for crafts workers. We put cameras on construction workers' hard hats and vests to analyze what's actually happening on job sites. We help teams cut labor costs, improve safety, and finish projects faster. We have captured ~50,000 hours of construction footage across 7 states and just partnered with the nation's #2 hard hat manufacturer. We’ve raised over $13M in seed funding from 8VC, South Park Commons, and 30+ leading operators and technologists, including Eric Glyman (Ramp), Jeff Dean (Google), and Scott Wu (Cognition).
