The start-up was able to convince both industry experts and serial founders of its idea. The founders want to establish a data-driven construction site management.

Specter Automation has successfully completed its pre-seed financing round. The start-up, which was only founded in May 2021, was able to attract various business angels and other backers in the process. According to the company, Jörg Hellwig, Chief Digital Officer of Lanxess, and Alexander Schwörer, owner of the PERI Group, invested. In total, the backers are said to have put a high six-figure sum into the start-up, Startbase has learned in advance.

Specter is still a very young start-up founded by engineers and economists from RWTH Aachen University and WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management, including Niklas Beese, Oliver Eischet, Emanuel Groh, Max Gier, and Moritz Cremer. In the meantime, the team has grown to ten people. They are already testing their own software as part of pilot projects on construction sites. The product should be ready for the market as early as the first quarter of 2022.

The team now wants to use the money it has raised to hire technical developers. With its software, Specter wants to revolutionize construction site management by sifting through and using the data generated on a construction site in a three-stage process. This should enable planners and employees to quickly record how far the construction site has progressed. At the end of the project, it should also be possible to look at: What went well? What didn't? The idea is that this can be used to optimize future planning processes.
