At Speckle, we’re on a mission to shake up the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry. To do that, we're building the data layer for AEC to operationalize how the built environment industry works with data and automation. Think of us as a cross between GitHub and Palantir, with an opportunity to significantly impact a $10 trillion industry. Our platform already powers workflows on billion-dollar projects at leading firms like Suffolk Construction, SOM, Multiconsult, WSP, and Stantec. Now, we're focused on bringing a paradigm-shifting product to as many customers as possible. We're building a generational company that will revolutionize how one of the world's largest industries operates. We’re doing that by breaking down barriers and connecting architects, engineers, and designers across every project stage with data. Speckle is backed by top-tier investors and works with some of the most innovative teams in AEC who are tired of outdated workflows and ready to transform how their organizations use data. Our dynamic team is spread across the U.S. and Europe. We value flexibility and hold regular in-person working sessions to keep us moving in the same direction, quickly.

Develocity helps software teams achieve delivery excellence through deep observability, build and test acceleration and efficiency, and AI-powered intelligence across the entire toolchain – for Gradle Build Tool, Apache Maven™, sbt, Bazel, npm, and Python, with support for additional build tools coming soon.

We're solving one of the hardest problems on the internet - establishing trust between two parties. It's life-like digital identity. In the physical world, proving your name is as simple as showing an ID card. But what about online? We're making it easy, convenient, secure, and privacy-preserving for people to prove things about themselves online to parties that interact with them. This puts people in control of their identity data and helps companies know who they're interacting with on the other side of the screen - it's a win-win. Our developer tools enable innovators across all industries to integrate these capabilities into their applications.
