Amsterdam-based startup Struck has raised €2 million in a seed round led by Value Factory Ventures, with participation from Antler and several industry angels from the construction and real estate sectors.
The investment will be used to expand Struck’s AI-driven compliance platform and accelerate its rollout across Europe.
Founded in 2024, Struck has developed an artificial intelligence platform that helps architects, developers and municipalities navigate complex building regulations. The software provides instant insights into the rules applicable to each project and will soon automatically verify whether designs meet all legal and environmental standards. By digitising and automating compliance checks, the platform aims to speed up permitting, cut costs and promote sustainable construction.
“Building regulations are becoming increasingly complex, while the need for faster and more sustainable construction is greater than ever,” said Max van Riel, co-founder of Struck. “Therefore, it's essential to find solutions to accelerate and simplify this process.”
Since its launch, Struck has become a leading platform for building regulation compliance in the Netherlands, serving thousands of users, including municipalities, builders, developers and architects. Its tools include an extensive AI library of building codes and an automated permit-exemption checker.
Johan van Heusden, Managing Partner at Value Factory Ventures, commented: “The construction sector is responsible for nearly 40% of global CO2 emissions, yet we urgently need to build millions of new homes. Solving this paradox means building smarter, not slower.”
Struck plans to expand beyond the Netherlands into other European markets where regulatory complexity continues to slow development.
