在 Google 上的首选来源中添加 Unite.AI
2026年11月4日，Shackleton AI 宣布从由电池企业(Battery Ventures)牵头的500万美元的种子资金中脱颖而出。 首都将扩展工作流程 AI agents可以管理和加快上市努力。
该回合还包括Brick & Mortar Ventures, Trust Ventures，相关Ventures，动机伙伴，Thayer投资伙伴，Act One Ventures，脑暴Ventures and Silence VC等。 2026年6月平台本身为发布。
沙克尔顿报告说，该平台管理超过15个州超过10亿美元的项目价值。 它服务于多家庭、工业和商业建筑的中型总承包商，以及包括红龙虾、Dog Haus和Pepper午餐在内的多地点品牌。
内建总承包商
迈克尔·拉格布，哈桑·亚辛和奥莱克桑德尔·卡尔采夫在2026年将技术带动的商业总承包商欧内斯特成长为全美东南部的3500万美元的年收入后，成立了沙克尔顿。 Ragheb是沙克尔顿的首席执行官。 他们的出发点是经营该业务时遇到的零碎软件和手工跟踪。
Shackleton描述了公司在投标、文件、时间安排和财务方面对7至10个系统进行拼凑，团队每周花费10至15小时进行数据输入和行政工作。 该平台合并了这些记录，并将传统的记录留给项目小组的系统所采取的后续行动自动化。
Agents 共享一个工程记录
该平台涵盖开发、施工前、项目和外地管理、财务和通信，涵盖选址和通过更替进行招标的工作。 其agents信息请求草案(RFI)，跟踪逾期未提交的文件，在付款请求提交批准前标出预算差异，并将字段指出转换为每日报告。
agents通过共享数据运行，协调项目和项目组合的活动。 审查和批准工作流程保持对其工作的人类监督。
官方产品说明将项目、投标、预算、索取资料书、提交书、变更单和实地报告放在一种模式中。 专业agents涵盖外勤业务、增长、规划、开发、采购、法律、办公室和财务工作。
浏览器工具包括甘特图，里程碑，前瞻和临界路径调度。 外地工作人员可以标出计划并捕捉行进，而离线访问则在机组人员返回射程时同步前，不断绘制可读和不可注意的床单。 这些功能将调度更新和工作站记录与agents使用的项目模式连接起来，解决了断开的外地和办公室工具之间的信息传输问题。
报告的结果和更广泛的设想
Ragheb 称多地点客户提前完成了35%的建设，预算也达到了18%。 这两个数字都是高限结果，而不是整个平台项目的平均值。
称整合Shackleton的通讯与项目追踪，使餐厅公司重新品牌的推出如期展开。
该公司认为Shackleton的代理方法是如何管理建筑项目。 他的评论提出了更广泛的基于agent的管理，作为该回合背后的投资论文。
Shackleton 称公司正在建设能够基本管理自己的建筑项目，在项目交付中提供主动、始终不渝的援助。
因此，供资的目标在于当前产品与这一雄心之间的空间：在一个项目记录中，更多的agent管理的行政工作，审查和批准仍然确定了人类控制的范围。

Shackleton AI Raises $5M Seed to Expand Construction Agent Workflows
Add Unite.AI to your preferred sources on Google
Shackleton AI announced on November 4, 2026 that it had emerged from stealth and raised $5 million in seed funding led by Battery Ventures. The capital will expand the workflows its construction AI agents can manage and accelerate go-to-market efforts.
The round also included Brick & Mortar Ventures, Trust Ventures, Correlation Ventures, Motivate Partners, Thayer Investment Partners, Act One Ventures, Brainstorm Ventures and Silence VC, among others. The platform itself launched in June 2026.
Shackleton reports that the platform manages more than $1 billion in project value across more than 15 states. It serves midsize general contractors in multifamily, industrial and commercial construction, as well as multi-location brands including Red Lobster, Dog Haus and Pepper Lunch.
Built Inside a General Contractor
Michael Ragheb, Hassan Yasin and Olexandr Kaltsev founded Shackleton in 2026 after growing Ernest, a technology-enabled commercial general contractor, to $35 million in annual revenue across the Southeastern United States. Ragheb is Shackleton’s chief executive. Their starting point was the fragmented software and manual follow-up they encountered while running that business.
Shackleton describes companies juggling seven to 10 systems for bidding, documents, scheduling and finances, with teams spending 10 to 15 hours a week on data entry and administrative work. The platform consolidates those records and automates follow-up work that conventional systems of record leave to project teams.
Agents Share One Project Record
The platform spans development, preconstruction, project and field management, finance and communications, covering work from site selection and bidding through turnover. Its agents draft requests for information (RFIs), follow up on overdue submittals, flag budget variances before payment requests are submitted for approval and convert field notes into daily reports.
The agents operate across shared data to coordinate activities across projects and portfolios. Review and approval workflows maintain human oversight over their work.
The official product description places projects, bids, budgets, RFIs, submittals, change orders and field reports in one model. Specialized agents cover field operations, growth, planning, development, procurement, legal, and office and finance work.
Browser tools include Gantt charts, milestones, look-aheads and critical-path scheduling. Field staff can mark up plans and capture walkthroughs, while offline access keeps drawing sheets readable and annotatable without a signal before synchronizing when the crew is back in range. These features connect schedule updates and jobsite records to the same project model used by the agents, addressing the transfer of information between disconnected field and office tools.
Reported Results and a Broader Ambition
Ragheb said multi-location customers have completed buildouts up to 35% ahead of schedule and as much as 18% under budget. Both figures are upper-bound outcomes rather than averages across the platform’s projects.
Andi Cramer, Red Lobster’s senior director of construction and rebuild, said consolidating communication and project tracking on Shackleton kept the restaurant company’s rebrand rollout on schedule.
Battery Ventures general partner Michael Brown said the firm believes Shackleton’s agentic approach is how construction projects will be managed going forward. His comments present broader agent-based management as the investment thesis behind the round.
Shackleton says it is building toward construction projects that can largely manage themselves, extending proactive, always-on assistance across project delivery.
The funding therefore targets the space between the current product and that ambition: more agent-managed administrative work inside one project record, with review and approval still defining the boundary of human control.
