## About

Based in the US, Drafted offers a generative AI platform that enables users to create custom house plans, transforming design ideas into detailed floor plans for various stakeholders in the construction industry. Founded in 2025 by founder & CEO Nicholas Donahue and headquartered in San Francisco, US, Drafted specializes in generative AI solutions for home design. Drafted provides an innovative platform that allows users to generate custom house plans using artificial intelligence. The core product is a user-friendly design tool that enables individuals to turn their ideas into detailed floor plans, which can be downloaded in both PDF and CAD formats. This service targets prospective homeowners, architects, and builders seeking tailored solutions that match their specific needs. By offering free access to these tools, Drafted aims to democratize home design, making it accessible to a wider audience across North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. The revenue model of Drafted is based on providing free AI-generated house plans, potentially monetizing through premium features. Basic functionalities are available at no cost, which encourages a larger user base, while the company can introduce subscription plans for advanced design options. This model facilitates direct-to-consumer transactions, allowing users to create and download plans seamlessly. Flagship offerings may include enhanced design tools or personalized consultations, with pricing structures designed to accommodate various user needs. In May 2026, Drafted raised USD 16 million in seed funding led by Buckley Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator, Samsung NEXT Ventures and Convective Capital, along with individual investors. Drafted plans to utilize the recent funding to further develop its AI-driven platform and support its growth towards launching of commercial paid plans. The company also plans to enhance its platform and expand into new geographical markets, specifically targeting Europe and Asia by 2026. The company is also developing new features for its design tools, aiming for a rollout within the next year. By focusing on these initiatives, Drafted seeks to broaden its reach and enhance its service offerings in the home design market.
