Construction risk, surfaced before it costs money
PITCHED AT THE SAN FRANCISCO NIGHT ON 7 OCTOBER 2026
Contracts, change orders, invoices and site emails live in different places, and the gaps between them add up quietly until the owner finds out the money is gone. Captus reads everything across a project the way a sharp project lead would, connects the dots, and puts cost, schedule and labour risk on a dashboard while there is still time to act.
Rework and overruns in commercial construction are rarely a surprise to everyone. Somebody on site knew the crew was short, somebody in the office saw the change order, and somebody received the invoice that did not match the contract. The owner, who carries the capital, finds out weeks later when the budget moves, because nobody reads every thread and file across a project and connects them.
Captus does that reading. Pointed at a project's email, drawings, contracts and records, it works through every document the way an experienced project lead would, builds a live register of what could go wrong, scores each threat to budget and schedule, and lands it on a risk dashboard the moment it appears. It runs on real developments for a Philadelphia owner-developer, and it is built for owners and developers rather than for the contractors who already have their own tools.
These founders pitched at the same startup events. The room is usually the reason people find each other.
