Latii, a New York City-based proptech startup, has secured $5 million in seed-round funding. Combined with the $3.3 million raised during a pre-seed round, this brings Latii’s total funding to $8.3 million.
The seed round was led by Leadout Capital, with participation from Era Ventures, Act One, Nine Four Ventures and RADV. The company will use the fresh capital to continue the development and launch of AI-powered tools that streamline processes for both its customers and fabricators. The infusion will fuel its U.S.-wide expansion efforts in the Pacific Northwest, Mountain Region and the New York Tri-State Area by removing cross-market friction.
“This funding enables us to leverage AI to lower overheads and enhance quality outcomes for our clients,” said Santiago Bueno, CEO and co-founder of Latii. “We’re excited to expand into new luxury architectural aluminum and European steel fenestration markets across the U.S., connecting architects and construction material dealers with premium, design-forward windows and doors from world-class fabricators.”
Latii is a managed marketplace and supply chain automation tool for construction materials, allowing U.S. customers to source high-quality, price-competitive, precision-made fenestration products from Latin America, Southern Europe and North Africa. By providing access to alternative supply chains previously inaccessible to the U.S. market, the company said that it generates savings of up to 60% while maintaining quality and offering access to innovative, design-forward architectural styles in steel and aluminum. Led by a team of industry experts and startup veterans, Latii is helping create supply chain flexibility within the $1.7 trillion U.S. construction industry.
“When we spoke with customers, one of their major frustrations concerned the traditional quoting process, which often took over a week and was error-prone. Latii is disrupting the $65 billion window and door market by dramatically streamlining the quoting process while also delivering higher-quality custom products at a significant discount,” said Steve Brownlie, general partner at Leadout Capital.
Latii is already working with customers in Texas and has facilitated more than $1 million in orders in the past twelve months. Having validated product-market fit and unit economics, Latii is now building an automated, AI-powered quoting engine to quickly grow its footprint across the U.S.
