As part of major Texas growth strategy, Mercator.ai, an AI-powered business development platform for commercial construction, announced its expansion into the Houston market. This strategic move follows the company’s successful launch in Austin earlier this year.
Mercator.ai is an AI-powered relationship-based business development software for general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and construction service providers. Its goal is to transform how construction professionals discover and qualify new project and relationship opportunities, reducing weeks of business development research into minutes.
“Houston’s sprawling growth and increasing competitive landscape make it ripe for innovation and the perfect next step in our Texas expansion,” said Chloe Smith, CEO and co-founder of Mercator.ai. “Our platform transforms how construction professionals discover and qualify new projects, reducing weeks of business development research into minutes and enabling teams to start building mutually profitable relationships at the earliest possible project stage.”
The platform’s expansion into Houston includes access to relationship mapping and contact information for key project stakeholders, complete coverage of private and public commercial and industrial construction projects across the City of Houston and real-time monitoring of early project signals including land and real estate transactions, permitting, and development proposals.
“Houston’s construction community is known for innovation and relationship-building,” Smith continued. “We’re excited to offer Houston contractors a seveb-day free trial of our platform, allowing teams to experience firsthand how early project detection can optimize their most limited resource — time.”
