That where Constrafor comes in: as a SaaS construction procurement platform with embedded financing, it streamlines information and documentation for how general contractors work with subcontractors, while its Early Pay Program assumes the risk for the subcontractor invoice, freeing up cash flow and reliance on traditional and costly lending options.

The Austrian startup — a platform for documentation and communication in construction and real estate projects — is continuing its funding roll with a $70 million fundraising round co-led by Insight Partners and Quadrille Capital. Back in March Vienna-based PlanRadar snapped up a €30 million Series A to digitize construction and real estate projects. The round also drew participation from existing investors, including Headline, Berliner Volksbank Ventures, aws Gründerfonds and Cavalry Ventures, plus new investors Proptech1, Russmedia and GR Capital. To add context to that, this is a significant raise for an Austrian company, and PlanRadar claims it the third-largest Series B in Austrian history to date.
