Sounds like a no-brainer, right? However, it\u2019s more innovative and less trivial than it sounds. To date, there hasn\u2019t been a company that\u2019s done this \u2014 as far as TechCrunch is aware \u2014 making Qflow pretty unique. It also has a de-carbonisation angle: if you can track construction materials more efficiently then you can track carbon inputs and outputs. This is especially important, given that the construction industry is one of the biggest carbon emiters, accounting for 11 percent<\/a> of global carbon emissions.<\/p>\n The company has now closed a $9.1 million (\u00a37.2M) Series A funding round led by climate tech VC Systemiq Capital, to fuel is growth in the US and Australia. Also participating is Ascension Ventures, Bridge Investment Group, Gravel Rd, Greensoil Proptech Ventures, Grosvenor, John Emrey (CEO of Alder properties), MMC, and Suffolk Tech.<\/p>\n Qflow says its platform allows construction teams to collect real-time materials and waste data, allowing those teams to make more informed decisions on cost, carbon, and quality, driving more transparency and efficiency<\/p>\n Qflow previously raised \u00a32.4 million across two seed rounds, with investment from PiLabs, MMC, Goldacre, Entrepreneur First (EF London 10) and angel investors.\u00a0<\/p>\n Founded in 2018 by Brittany Harris and Jade Cohen, both with experience in the construction industry. The pair met volunteering for World Merit<\/a>, an SGGs community. <\/p>\n Over an interview, Brittany Harris, Co-Founder & CEO of Qflow, told me: \u201cConstruction is one of the most carbon intensive industries in the world. And it\u2019s a bit of a nightmare to decarbonize because there are so many moving parts. Qflow is ultimately the simplest way of capturing all the information you need in order to understand the carbon impact of construction and then use that to decarbonize. It\u2019s all about reducing that right way, but in the long run, it\u2019s about unlocking the economy across urban mining.\u201d<\/p>\n
