Strato Create Secures €167,400 To Transform Architectural Workflows And Cut Design Time By 80%

Architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) startup Strato Create has raised a €167,400 bridge round investment to support expansion into foreign markets and enhance the functionality of its cloud-based automation platform.

Strato Create automates home design, estimation, and sales, potentially reducing early design processes by up to 80 per cent. By leveraging advanced mathematical optimisation models and real-time builder data, it generates production-ready designs instantly, eliminating inefficiencies and costly errors.

Backed by builders' data, architectural expertise, and construction tech, Strato streamlines early-stage design while managing client expectations.

Users can explore, create, modify designs, see real-time pricing and 3D visualisation, compare builders, choose architects, comment on projects, and keep all communication in one place.

Architects can input variables such as site dimensions, building regulations, other factors, and client preferences, and Strato create will produce multiple design options with price estimation, 3d visualisation, and energy calculations.

Strato Create's co-founder, Beatrice Laurinkute, comes from a background in creative industries and real estate, with a strong passion for innovation. Jokubas Vaisvila brings expertise in engineering, BIM, and digital construction, with a focus on automation and optimisation in the industry.

Together, their team has developed one of Europe's largest 3D printers, a modular housing system, mycelium boards, geopolymer, bio-polyurethane, and other groundbreaking innovations. 

Coinvest Capital and three business angels participated in this financing round. Coinvest Capital's share in the investment amounted to €125,523.60.

According to Beatrice Laurinkute, co-founder and CEO of Strato Create, the construction industry clings to outdated workflows, resisting the innovation reshaping every other sector. 

"By leveraging builder data and advanced algorithms, we're replacing inefficiency with intelligence and fragmentation with seamless collaboration. 

We saw this need firsthand while developing our modular house system—countless hours spent on repetitive tasks like tailoring designs for clients, implementing changes, managing revisions, estimating costs, analysing energy performance, and more."

Audrius Dzikevicius, the lead business angel of the investment round. shared:

"The Strato team has an impressive track record of innovation. 

They are driven by curiosity and ambition, constantly seeking to improve both their work and the tools they use. 

Unafraid to challenge the status quo, they stand apart from those merely seeking a comfortable place in the market.  

With no comparable tool available globally, their solution addresses a universal challenge for anyone designing and outfitting spaces."
