Sales Development Representative

About ContraVault AI

ContraVault AI is a deep tech company building AI that reads construction projects the way a senior estimator does. Before any project is built, teams must review hundreds of engineering drawings and tender documents to determine scope and cost, and for decades this work has been done manually.

Our models automate it. Trained on more than one million industrial drawings across piping, electrical, mechanical and HVAC, they convert engineering drawings into material takeoffs, labor estimates and priced bills of materials in hours rather than days. Very few teams in the world are working on this problem at this depth.

Contractors across the United States use ContraVault AI to estimate industrial projects, and our customers include multiple multi-billion dollar companies. We are backed by Chiratae Ventures and Titan Capital, have raised $3.7 million and have been featured in Forbes.
