What Worth Likes:- Using AI and automation to accelerate the real estate development process with a focus on creating more sustainable structures
- Co-Founders are three highly bright individuals who met while receiving Harvard MBAs/Masters of Architecture
- Algoma is a digital architect and engineer that provides real estate developers with a lower cost, faster and more sustainable solution to construction. Developers come to us with their empty sites, and we use our technology to provide designs in days rather than months. We are disrupting the large $114 billion residential construction services market and have $333k contracted revenue and built up a pipeline of over $3.1 million.
- Algoma uses mass timber as the main structural element to eliminate the embodied carbon from the built environment, which is responsible for 40% of global greenhouse emissions. Algoma is taking this opportunity to use mass timber to replace heavy industrial materials (and polluters) such as concrete and steel.
- You will have the unique opportunity to shape the technological foundation of Algoma from the ground up, directly influencing the direction and success of the company. Contributions will not just be about writing code but about creating and defining the company's technological vision and strategy.
