## About

Based in the US, Guthrie AI Inc. provides AI-enabled solutions that enhance preconstruction processes for construction firms, focusing on streamlining bidding efficiencies through technology-driven support. Guthrie AI Inc., founded in 2023 and headquartered in Philadelphia, US, specializes in AI-powered preconstruction support. Led by founder and CEO Ted Baumgardner. In June 2026, Guthrie AI Inc. raised USD 4.4 million in seed funding led by Chicago Ventures with participation from York IE, MVP Capital Partners and Flybridge. Guthrie AI Inc. specializes in providing an AI-powered preconstruction support platform designed to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the bidding process for construction firms. Their core offering combines Virtual Bid Assistants (VBAs) with human Bid Coordinators to streamline the estimating workflow, eliminating administrative tasks such as parsing RFPs, managing RFIs, and tracking addenda. The platform facilitates standardized processes and centralized documentation, empowering estimators to focus on strategic tasks like pricing and client relationship management. By automating key elements of the bidding lifecycle, Guthrie AI Inc. addresses the industry's need for reduced bottlenecks and improved turnaround times. Their services cater primarily to contractors in commercial development, infrastructure projects, and related sectors across over 40 states in the U.S., with a growing client base that includes leading construction firms nationwide. Guthrie AI Inc. generates revenue through a subscription-based model, offering various packages for its services. The core package includes one Virtual Bid Assistant and one Bid Coordinator at a monthly fee, with additional options available for scaling based on the volume of bids. This structure allows clients to customize their level of support according to their specific needs and project loads. For example, clients may subscribe to the core package and add extra VBAs as their bidding demands increase, providing flexibility and scalability. The pricing model emphasizes a partnership with clients, empowering them to bid more commercial projects while reducing estimating bottlenecks and protecting profit margins through AI-enhanced workflows. The company plans to utilize this funding to expand its team and enhance tool integrations. Guthrie AI Inc. is also focused on launching new products aimed at improving its preconstruction platform and is exploring expansion into additional geographic regions to enhance its market presence.
