Qbiq raises $16M Series A for its automated architectural solutions
The Israeli startup tackles one of real estate’s biggest pain points: the inefficiency of traditional architectural planning, which leads to delays and prolonged deal cycles.
Israeli startup qbiq, which has developed a platform focused on automating architectural planning, announced on Wednesday the closing of a $16 million Series A round led by global software investor Insight Partners. The round included participation from JLL Spark, 10D, Ocean Azul, Random Forest and M-Fund.
Founded in 2019 by Leeor Solnik, Elad Kaminer, Noam Diamantstein and Roey Granot, qbiq tackles one of real estate’s biggest pain points: the inefficiency of traditional architectural planning, which leads to delays and prolonged deal cycles.
For decades, creating layouts involved slow, manual work using tools like AutoCAD, with architects solving complex design problems line by line. Even after completing a layout, interpreting it can be challenging—especially for those without a design background. Creating clarity through visuals, such as rendered tours and images, is a costly, months-long process, making it impractical for most deals and projects.
Qbiq has created one of the first Architectural AI platforms that allows brokers, landlords, architects, general contractors, and tenants to easily envision the full potential of any space in minutes, while considering basic or complex requirements. Customers such as Brookfield Properties, JLL, Skanska and IWG are able to easily create a wide range of architectural outputs for any space in minutes. These outputs include architectural programs, programmatic or conceptual layouts, high-resolution rendered tours and images, quantity takeoffs CAD/Revit models and more.
According to the company, since launch, qbiq’s customers have created over 400 million square feet of architectural layouts and visualizations in hours, replacing weeks or even months of manual work to accelerate decision-making and reduce deal cycles.
“When we officially launched in 2023, I discussed reaching 100 million square feet delivered to clients as a KPI. This was thought by many to be unrealistic. By 2024 we had already quadrupled that goal and are now speeding towards the 1 billion square foot mark," says Leeor Solnik, qbiq's CEO and Co-Founder. “Joining forces with Insight Partners is a big milestone for qbiq, enabling the acceleration of our global expansion and paving our way towards a real industry transformation.”
Liad Agmon, Managing Director at Insight Partners, led the investment in qbiq and will join the company’s board of directors.
