Launched in 2020, Scalera is the leading AI platform for construction procurement. Combining ETH research with deep industry expertise and backed by $6.5M, we help suppliers across the DACH region respond to tenders faster, more accurately, and profitably.

We see a future defined by one automated flow for every building and every material.

We are moving the industry beyond fragmented transactions to a new standard of efficient builder and supplier collaboration, where data moves as fast as construction itself.

By erasing the friction between planning and sourcing, we are empowering the entire ecosystem to build faster, smarter, and together.

Scalera is an official ETH Zürich spin-off

93%

of all ETH spin-offs are still actively operating 5 years after founding.

From research to industrial standard

Our story

Beginnings in the ETH Student Project House

We began as a high-end AI consultancy within the ETH Zurich ecosystem, operating as a “startup factory” to build bespoke solutions across industries. While profitable ($800k+ revenue), we realized we were often solving symptoms rather than root causes.

‍

Recognizing a massive pattern of broken communication in the construction industry, we made a bold pivot: we shut down our consulting business to solve this single problem at scale.

That focus paid off.

Following a rigorous 6-month due diligence process, we earned the prestigious ETH Spin-off label. Today, backed by $6.5M in funding, we serve 150+ customers and have processed over 5 billion in construction volume across the DACH region—defining the new standard for automated tender processing.
