Karmen
Fall 2024AI Assistant for Construction Project Managers
About Company
Karmen is an AI assistant for construction project managers. We integrate with their emails, project management software and ERPs to automate admin tasks like invoice processing and approvals. One construction company we are working with faced a project delay cost of around $50,000 a day from an invoicing mistake. Supplier management issues like these account for 20% of project delays.
Active Founders
My parents were general contractors, and during university, I gained experience working at JLL. After graduating, I joined IXM and was the youngest commodity trader in their history, primarily working with the European aluminum team. In this role, I managed the delivery of over $1 billion worth of refined aluminum annually, sourced from industrial projects around the globe.
I hold a Master’s degree specialising in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from Imperial College London. Previously, I was a software engineer at nPlan, a startup focused on delivering AI solutions for large-scale construction projects with clients such as Shell, ExxonMobil, and Skanska. Drawing on my experience in construction tech, I’m now building Karmen, an AI Assistant for Construction Project Managers.
