Polish-Rooted Arctis AI Raises Million-Dollar Pre-Seed Funding for Construction Contracts, TheRecursive.com
, ~

Munich-based Arctis AI with Polish roots raised around €1 million to further develop its AI platform to manage construction contracts across complex infrastructure projects.

👯 Founders: Dila Ekrem, Duc-Trung Nguyen, Leon Stawowiak

📅 Founding year: 2025

🏭 Industry: Construction Tech / AI / Contract Management

💥 Problem: Construction contracts are managed as static PDFs across emails, spreadsheets, and siloed systems, creating massive manual overhead, hidden risks, and inefficiencies—especially as infrastructure projects grow in size and complexity.

📣 Solution: Arctis AI turns contracts into a structured, centralized hub powered by AI agents, making obligations, risks, payment terms, and dependencies transparent and actionable throughout the project lifecycle.

👥 Customers: Construction companies, infrastructure developers, and commercial & project teams working on complex construction projects

🌱 Stage: Pre-seed

💰 Investment amount: over $1 million (aprox. €1 million)

🚀 Funded by: PT1 (lead), EWOR, Superangels, and angels including Alexander Schwörer (PERI), Sebastian Johnston (La Famiglia), Christian Vollmann (C1 Green Chemicals), Daniel Bronk (B+V Union), and Christian Marquart (Marvel Fusion)

👁️‍🗨️ Investor’s perspective: Arctis AI is tackling one of Europe’s largest yet most underserved industries by modernizing the administrative backbone of construction with scalable AI-driven infrastructure.

💡 It will be spent on: Strengthening the technical team, building additional product modules, and expanding the customer base across Europe

💬 In their own words:

“Construction teams are delivering increasingly complex projects, but the administrative systems behind them have barely changed. Back-office work is still dominated by PDFs, spreadsheets, and email. We are building the tools to finally change this.”
— Leon Stawowiak, Co-Founder

💪 Their specialty: AI-powered contract structuring, risk transparency, and workflow automation for large-scale construction projects

🔑 Business model: B2B SaaS

👩‍🏫 Market: Europe’s construction and real estate sector, the continent’s largest industry, facing hundreds of billions of euros in infrastructure upgrades by 2030

📊 Traction: First pilot project deployed in Germany within three months of founding; initial technical hires from AWS, Snowflake, and Palantir
