Suffolk Technologies, the venture capital arm of Boston-based contractor Suffolk Construction, has closed out its sixth BOOST tech accelerator through its Demo Day, where eight selected startups pitched their products to an audience of investors, experts and stakeholders, according to a Nov. 20 news release.
BOOST, which Suffolk launched in 2020, has graduated 38 participants, including Trunk Tools and Kaya AI, that have raised more than $700 million in funding, according to the news release. Solutions ranged from artificial intelligence, prefabrication and robotics to materials science.
This year, Suffolk tapped its network of 55 partner organizations to give the companies access to clients, pilot projects and investors, as well as experience on active Suffolk jobsites. Of those 55, 28 were construction firms, and 10 of them conducted a pilot on an active jobsite with one or more BOOST members, per a Suffolk spokesperson.
