AEC Angels

AEC Angels operates as an alliance of industry leaders and experts, advancing technology across the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sectors. It identifies, pilots, and invests in emerging solutions addressing critical challenges within AEC and supply-chain landscapes, leveraging its network’s experience to drive innovation and enhance practices. The collective’s approach focuses on supporting advancements that can significantly improve current industry methodologies.

The organization's formation stemmed from Thomas Scarangello's insight that the construction industry significantly lacked innovation, a point highlighted in a 2014 Harvard Business Review analysis. This realization spurred figures like Scarangello, Gregg Pasquarelli, Chris Sharples, and William Sharples, all from prominent AEC firms, to establish a platform aimed at catalyzing industry transformation. Their collective pedigree informed the urgent need for a dedicated effort to modernize the sector.

AEC Angels supports innovative technology companies, benefiting the broader AEC community with enhanced tools and collaborative processes. Its vision centers on being a global change driver, actively shaping the future of design and building by fostering effective solutions. The alliance continues to work towards a future where the AEC industry continuously evolves through strategic technological integration and collective advancement.
