Pre-seed · October 2026
Takeoff for fire, security, and low-voltage
MatrixAI is pre-revenue. It reads a legend, counts the sheet, explodes a priced bill of materials, and builds a submittal. The raise is a pre-seed SAFE to prove that count on live bids — not a seed round for a sales team, and not a design platform.

Civic Center SS-101 is a worked example: 69 devices, $25,315 of material, 57.2 labor hours at the demo rate of $85. A dashed ring is not a confirmed count.
The ask
- Stage: pre-seed. Instrument: SAFE. Cap and check size are discussed in the meeting, not invented on this page.
- The money is for the three milestones below. It is not a headcount plan.
- There is no letter-of-intent count, no filed patent claim, and no revenue forecast on this page.
Milestones the round has to buy
- Symbol match holds on real customer PDFs, not only the Civic sheet.
- Three shops run one live bid through the desk.
- A written before-and-after: hours on the old takeoff versus minutes in Matrix.
What you can verify today
- A desk that counts, prices, and packages a worked sheet.
- Solo $129/mo and Crew $299/mo.
- Load a PDF and check the pages. Counts from a customer set still need a person to confirm them.
- Not BIM. Not Procore. Not stamped engineering. Not a full labor database.

Damian Buehrle
Physical security delivery. Everon (formerly ADT Commercial), Senior Strategic Account Manager, 2017–present. Tyco Integrated Security / ADT, Global Account Manager, 2000–2017.
He has spent the years since 2000 on access control, video, and intrusion for data centers, distribution, healthcare, and critical infrastructure — design review through FAT/SAT, punch list, and handover. At Everon that included security accountability across 25 or more concurrent builds. At Tyco, a delivery portfolio valued above $20 million a year.
Programs in that career included John Deere, Caterpillar, Primark, Cyxtera, Iron Mountain, Tesla, UTC, Carrier, Pratt & Whitney, Sikorsky, and Rockwell Collins. Those are delivery history. They are not Matrix customers, and they are not endorsements.
