Baukunst

We have a new team member! Our newest Analyst, Ally Bell, wrote a little something to introduce herself to the Baukunst community. Here's a bit about her journey and what she's looking forward to: "Hi everyone! I’m Ally, and I'm joining Baukunst this week as an analyst. Coming from a background in engineering and startups, I am thrilled to be stepping into this space with all of you. I studied Systems Engineering at Olin College, with a focus on sustainability and user centered design. I’ve been very lucky to work over the past few years with the teams at Bedrock Energy, building commercial scale geothermal, and at Spaero Bio, developing a different kind of liquid handling automation software, and my own project, building data management and regulatory reporting software for shellfish farms. My time with startups demonstrated to me how critical capital is in early stages of building, and pushed me to dive into the financial mechanisms that support entrepreneurs. I am drawn to venture as a mechanism to enable innovation that the world desperately needs. There is so much to build, from decarbonization to consumer health—I am excited to help enable clarity and respect in this piece of the process for founders in accelerating their pursuits. The energy that founders pour in at the earliest stages demands mutual excitement and conviction from those supporting them. I feel incredibly privileged to be joining the team at Baukunst as they practice this relentlessly. As an analyst, I’m excited to earn your trust and work to serve this community. I aim to use this role to pursue excellence, impact, and community with the incredible founders I get to work with. I look forward to learning from and alongside you, Ally" Let's give Ally a warm welcome to the community! We can't wait to see the impact she'll make here at Baukunst.

You can see decks that actually raised funding rounds like yours. It's a great way to see how different companies tell their story. 1. Check out decks that raised a similar amount to what you are raising. 2. Check out decks that had similar business models 3. Check out decks that had similar hurdles to overcome How did they tell their story? https://lnkd.in/g36k_xs7

Congratulations to Baukunst collective member Krenar Komoni and the Tive Inc team for achieving remarkable growth in their customer base!

Exciting opportunity at Juicebox (YC S22)!

We were thrilled to welcome collective member Amar Hanspal, Founder/CO Ambr, to our latest discussion for Study Group 002 on the "The Future of AI in Engineering, Manufacturing, and Architecture/Engineering/Construction (AEC)." Amar has a rich background that includes 20 years at Autodesk and a seat on PTC’s board. Stay tuned for the full report coming out later this summer where we’ll share more highlights and insights from our time with Amar.

As its name implies, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) encapsulates tools that amplify human creativity with computation. The last radical shift in this industry leveraged novel compute power and GUI paradigms to transform mechanical, electrical, and simulation design in the mid 90s. Today, recent advances in artificial intelligence are primed to further accelerate how we design and build the world around us. At Baukunst, we believe technology and design are the most potent ingredients to build ambitious, enduring businesses. In Contours of CAD AI, we dive deeper into both fields to inspire the collective and inform how we build generation-defining companies. 

Humbled to have played this role in the Bobbie story. I’m leading pre-seed rounds with $500k-$2m from our new fund Baukunst. Let’s build extraordinary things together! N

The kind of collaboration we like to see.
