Continue Secures $1.2M to Revolutionize Construction Quality with AI
• Continue raises $1.2M seed round led by SenseAI Ventures and Piper Serica Angel Fund to advance AI-based construction site monitoring.
• Helmet-mounted cameras and 3D vision models drive real-time quality tracking and compliance without manual input.
• Startup targets global expansion as the default data infrastructure for real-time construction intelligence.
Bengaluru-based deeptech startup Continue raised a seed round of $1.2 million, led by SenseAI Ventures with participation from Piper Serica Angel Fund. Continue seeks to revolutionize quality monitoring and compliance tracking at construction sites using AI-driven, automated solutions, instead of fragmented and traditional manual processes.
Started by Harshil Naik and Kanao Ramesh, Continue is developing a vertical data infrastructure stack targeted at the construction sector. At the core of its technology is a helmet-mounted 360-degree camera system capturing real-time site imagery, which is subsequently processed via proprietary 3D computer vision models. These models produce structured data on quality, compliance, and project progress completely without human input.
"Construction is one of the most massive but least digitized industries and ready for AI upgradation," said Rahul Agarwalla, Managing Partner at SenseAI Ventures. "Continue is not only digitizing it's creating the real-time data backbone the industry so badly needs."
The startup asserts that its AI models outperform existing benchmarks on construction-specific datasets, allowing high-precision defect detection and automated quality control. These reductions minimize dependence on subcontractor reporting and streamline compliance documentation.
With this funding, Continue plans to grow its engineering and product teams, scale its AI infrastructure , and support enterprise-level deployments. Co-founder and CEO Harshil Naik noted that the company is moving from proof-of-concept to full-scale platform development. “We’ve proven our ability to tackle core quality control issues and are now expanding into the broader construction data ecosystem.”
CTO and co-founder Kanao Ramesh highlighted their ambition to become the default world data layer for construction, referring to robust validation and increasing commercial traction.
Ajay Modi, Piper Serica Angel Fund's Investment Director, stated that the co-founders' combination of rich AI and construction knowledge makes them unique. "Continue's visionary approach, supported by acerbic execution, is just what this sector requires," he added.
