We are thrilled to announce our lead role in Document Crunch‘s $21.5 million Series B funding round with participation from key strategic partner Nemetschek Group, along with major construction companies such as Andres Construction and Satterfield & Pontikes, plus existing investors, including Navitas Capital, Zacua Ventures, Fifth Wall and Ironspring Ventures. We collectively support Document Crunch in its mission to revolutionize the construction industry’s approach to document intelligence and contract compliance.
Document Crunch, founded in 2019, has carved a niche as the leading AI-powered platform designed to streamline and simplify construction contracts. Using advanced AI and machine learning, Document Crunch identifies critical risk provisions and provides continuous guidance, ensuring that stakeholders at all levels—from project managers to legal teams—maintain adherence throughout the project lifecycle. This innovative approach is vital in a $2 trillion U.S. construction market, where approximately 50% of projects exceed schedules and budgets, resulting in significant delays and financial strain.

- Risk Review & Negotiation: De-risks contracts by highlighting key provisions and enabling efficient, AI-driven contract summaries and compliance tracking.
- Project Playbook: Provides real-time guidance to field teams, ensuring adherence to critical contract provisions, driving project success, and enhancing profitability.
Document Crunch’s leadership team, including CEO Josh Levy Esq. (previously JE Dunn Construction), COO Trent Miskelly (formerly Autodesk and ConstructConnect), and VP of Revenue Chris Parish (previously Autodesk), brings a wealth of industry experience and technical expertise. Their collective background spans legal advisory, product development, strategic consulting, and sales growth, forming a robust foundation that drives the company’s mission forward.
