Our story

Tracy and Ralph Tracy at Y Combinator Team TigerEye

As technologists and parents raising children in an AI-driven world, we choose to be optimistic about the future.

The headlines about AI taking over jobs can feel disempowering, but at TigerEye we believe that we have the power to shape our own path. While there is still a lot of uncertainty about how AI will unfold in the workplace, we see an incredible opportunity to reimagine what technology can do for people. What inspires us most is the potential to make work more meaningful, more collaborative and more human.

We’ve spent nearly a decade building PlanGrid for the construction industry and another 4 years becoming AI experts at TigerEye. Our focus now is on the industry and people we know best: construction professionals who shower at night because they’ve spent the whole day working on site.

The construction industry is facing an exceptionally challenging moment. We’re seeing a mass exodus of construction tribal knowledge and skilled labor to retirement. Supply chain disruptions have made material prices and lead times unpredictable. Along with our deteriorating infrastructure, the AI race has created an unprecedented wave of demands for more data centers, renewable energy, transportation systems, and urban growth. All of this means we must figure out how to build smarter, faster, more sustainably with less.

That’s why we’re going back to our roots and developing AI for builders that is designed from the ground up to eliminate some of the bullshit and empower the field to focus on what they do best, which is working together to build the infrastructure that our world needs.
