InQI is AI-native knowledge management for AEC — AI agents turn an address into site intelligence, code-aware designs, and estimates. 6× revenue growth in 7 months, ~93% margins. Patent pending.
Current Status
Live in production with paying AEC customers. 6× net revenue growth in seven months (Jan–Jul 2026); ~$147K annualized run-rate; ~93% gross margin; 915 paying buyers YTD from 8,122 signups at a $12.73 blended CPA. In July, renewals exceeded new purchases for the first time — growth is compounding, not bought. AEC professionals convert at 2.7× the overall rate, and 53% of them choose the top pricing tier on day one. First prize, AWS AI Pitch Competition (Cupertino, July 2026). Founder-funded ($700K), no outside capital to date.
Problem or Opportunity
Every construction project crosses three disciplines — architecture, engineering, and construction — and the same project data is rebuilt by hand at every stage. Architects spend days assembling site data, zoning, and constraints before design can start. Engineers run calculations on inputs buried in PDFs and tribal knowledge. Constructors must estimate, manage documents, and retain records under ~10-year mandates with no system built for it. Incumbents digitized the jobsite for large enterprises; the SMB firms that make up most of the industry have no system that carries project intelligence
Solution (product or service)
InQI is an AI-native knowledge and information management platform for AEC. Everything anchors to the address: AI agents retrieve parcel, aerial, topo, and zoning data, then generate code-aware site plans and structured data architects and engineers build with. IQ Agents handle site intelligence, code checks, and estimating, all in a system of record meeting construction's 10-year retention mandates. Deterministic engines own every number; AI never does the compliance math. September 2026: Concept launches, 45 agents under 7 orchestrators. Patent pending. Model-agnostic by design.
Business model
Self-serve SaaS subscriptions in three tiers (Foundation / Pro / InSight), segmented by discipline across architecture, engineering, and construction. The premium tier has captured 37–39% of new-purchase revenue every month since our May pricing change. ICP is SMB AEC firms — the 88% of the US market incumbents skip (their average contracts run ~$72K/yr, enterprise-only). Construction's ~10-year record-retention mandates make the system of record structurally sticky. US professional AEC software-addressable market: ~$3.4B today, $5.3–6.0B by 2031.
