Qbiq, one of the first AI companies focused on automating architectural planning, announced the closing of a $16 million Series A round led by global software investor Insight Partners. The round included participation from JLL Spark, 10D, Ocean Azul, Random Forest and M-Fund.
Qbiq’s software enables non-architects and architect users alike to immediately plan, visualize and optimize any given space. With a simple input of requirements — from seat count to finish materials — Qbiq’s AI generates a complete design package including optimized floor plans, 3D visualizations, architectural programs, quantity estimates, Revit/CAD models and more. The investment will drive qbiq’s mission to standardize automated architectural capabilities in commercial real estate, making architectural planning faster, accessible and more efficient for non-designers and designers alike.
Since launch, Qbiq’s customers have created over 400 million square feet of architectural layouts and visualizations in hours.
“When we officially launched in 2023, I discussed reaching 100 million square feet delivered to clients as a KPI. This was thought by many to be unrealistic. By 2024 we had already quadrupled that goal and are now speeding towards the 1 billion square foot mark,” said Leeor Solnik, Qbiq’s CEO and co-founder. “Joining forces with Insight Partners is a big milestone for qbiq, enabling the acceleration of our global expansion and paving our way towards a real industry transformation.”
Liad Agmon, managing director at Insight Partners, led the investment in Qbiq and will join the company’s board of directors.
“When I was CEO, we would have at least one major office move per year across our global offices. Understanding whether a vacant space would be optimal for our needs was a tedious and lengthy process that would often take weeks and involve back and forth between our team, landlords and our architects. I was impressed by how elegantly Qbiq solves this problem, saving valuable time and money to all parties involved,” Agmon said. “With qbiq, we’re witnessing a game-changing shift, helping define a new era of automated architectural planning.”
