Genia

"A lot of rework happens because, if architects want to change something in the architectural drawing, they don’t always know how those changes impact engineering solutions. We run architecture drawings through a generative AI algorithm that we built, which allows engineers to explore thousands of different layout options. Generative design means we’re able to generate most of the drawings in minutes. We’re doing the same structural analysis an engineer would have done manually, but we do it much faster at a bigger scale. This empowers engineers to react much more quickly." We at Genia are dedicated to building #GenerativeDesign tools so that engineering design can be more efficient. Thank you Ashley Logan for including our perspectives into The Future of Design section.

Thanks for recognizing us!

#News | Genia introduces AI-driven structural design with its new platform, Genia Structural CoPilot. By reducing manual calculations, it enhances efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness in construction. With $3M in funding and a partnership with Suffolk Construction, Genia aims to reshape the industry. #RealtyNXT #StructuralEngineering #ConstructionTech #AIInnovation #GenerativeAI #SustainableConstruction #PropTech #TechForGood #SmartConstruction Zhihao Zhao Robin Li

As a company headquartered in LA, we are deeply saddened by the devastation caused by the recent wildfires and stand in solidarity with those affected. Rebuilding our communities is a priority, and we want to do our part to help. Today, we’re proud to join #ReconstructLA, an essential initiative led by PermitFlow to support homebuilders, contractors, and homeowners in their recovery efforts. To ease the rebuilding process, we are offering at least a 50% discount to anyone working to restore properties impacted by the wildfires. If there’s anything we can do to assist, please don’t hesitate to reach out. — Zhihao Zhao (zhihao@genia.design)

I am personally excited to announce our investment in Genia, using AI to transform the structural engineering industry globally 🌎🚀

🚀 Engineers can now validate structural designs 10x faster than with traditional means. Why does this matter? > High demand caused by natural disasters like the recent fires in Los Angeles can overwhelm local engineering contractors, limiting their capacity to fulfil sudden demand for new projects. > Sustainable development requires repurposing structures, often demanding significant time to assess reinforcement or redevelopment needs. > Increased pressures on the industry from rising interest rates. Genia was co-founded by ex-Amazon engineer, Zhihao Zhao, and ex-Arup structural engineer Robin Li, along with software entrepreneur Houtao Wang and generative AI researcher Peter Dai. The investment round was led by VC Pi Labs, with participation from early-stage investors Amplify, Boost VC, Dorm Room Fund, Suffolk Technologies, Y Startup Index, Moatable founder Joe Chen and Scale AI executives.

🚀 Thrilled to announce leading Genia’s $3m pre-seed investment, alongside our friends at Amplify.LA, Boost VC, Dorm Room Fund, Suffolk Technologies, Y Startup Index, Moatable founder Joe Chen and Scale AI executives. 🚀 Genia is using generative AI to enable structural engineers to rapidly validate structural designs 10x faster than with traditional methods - a level of specialisation not reached by foundational AI models. Congratulations Zhihao, Robin, Houtao and Shuyang on this achievement - we can’t wait to see what’s next!

Wow those brows had a moment. Glad to be leaving them in 2024! Great to meet you at Suffolk Technologies Boost Event Zhihao Zhao and learn more about Genia, wishing you a strong start to 2025!

It was exciting to be part of BOOST Demo Day organized by Suffolk Technologies and listen the pitches from successful startups such as Genia which Simpson Strong-Tie mentored for the last 8 weeks. It was an honor to receive the “Firestarter” award 🔥 Thank you Parker Mundt and Carly Joos for warm hospitality and great organization. Congratulations to Zhihao Zhao and Robin Li from Genia for completing the program and getting the highest vote from the audience.
