From procurement data to AI agents
Japanese construction technology company BALLAS has completed an extension taking its Series B financing to ¥3.4bn. The total comprises ¥2.5bn in equity and ¥900m in debt; the company did not disclose the extension’s standalone size.
JIC Venture Growth Investments joined through a third-party share allotment, while Japan Finance Corporation and MUFG Bank provided loans for the extension. SMBC Edge and Z Venture Capital led the wider Series B, which also included corporate and financial investors.
BALLAS operates a procurement platform for construction components, linking design, purchasing, manufacturing and installation data. It works with more than 150 partner factories and is developing AI agents to automate workflows from project discussions through delivery.
The funding will strengthen its AI and product teams as it connects BIM and 3D CAD design with its BALLAS LINKS and BALLAS SCM systems. The company aims to improve factory supply capacity and reduce the coordination work required to deliver custom components.
Total funding since the company’s launch has reached approximately ¥5.3bn.
