WoHo Raises $5M in Seed Funding for Sustainable Construction Platform

Technology company World Home (WoHo) has secured $4.5 million in seed funding. The company integrates architecture, engineering and construction into a single, streamlined platform to quickly design and construct high quality buildings. The investment round was led by The Engine, a venture firm spun out of MIT.

WoHo’s systems are made up of a series of foundational components which can be scaled and configured to span residential and commercial buildings such as multifamily housing, hotels, dormitories, labs and offices. These components are optimized for fabrication, transportation, assembly and operation.

WoHo is conducting its first pilot at WoHo Lab in Madrid and plans to build one in Boston in early 2021. This seed capital will be used to build out U.S. manufacturing, further partner pilots, broaden the team and help the company scale.
