   Former Palantir executives found Dream, raising $17 million led by a16z to build an AI world model for construction

   Former Palantir executives Andy Elder and Arjun Mathur founded Dream, which has raised a $17 million seed round led by a16z to develop a "world model" for the construction industry that uses AI to automate architectural design and engineering. The model is trained on building data covering more than 100 million square feet from permit records across the United States, can understand the materials inside walls and the material and load-bearing capacity of beams, and has already been used in 10 under-construction projects in Texas and California. Dream hopes to replace traditional AEC tools such as AutoCAD and Revit.
