UDOR Studios is the construction industry's first AI-powered venture studio — built inside a $400M+ firm with 93 years of domain expertise and zero patience for tools that don't work in the field.
The AI revolution, a $2T industry ripe for transformation, a fertile macro environment, and a host company with the perfect mix of scale, expertise, and ambition. The conditions have never been better.

FONTAINE
CONSTRUCTION
A rich mix of projects, expertise, and partners for invention and deployment
A $2 trillion industry. 8 million workers. An enormous surface area for AI to drive efficiency, reduce cost, and amplify the expertise of every skilled tradesperson on the job. The opportunity is not just real — it's generational.
Construction represents one of the largest sectors in the global economy — and one of the least digitized.
Eight million construction workers operating with technology that hasn't meaningfully changed in decades.
A critical skills gap that AI-driven efficiency tools are uniquely positioned to bridge — multiplying the impact of every expert in the field.
Every idea gets tested in the real world — on active job sites, with real crews, under real deadlines. We don't demo. We build, we validate, and we scale what works.
Frictionless, speed-of-light iteration driven by any and all Fontaine team members. Every person on every job site is a potential source of insight.
Accelerated projects with evidence of product-market fit receive focused investment and external development support from our partner studios.
Products that demonstrate external revenue and potential to scale initiate a process to capture external investment and spin out as independent companies.
Our first company proves the model. More in the pipeline.
Built by someone who has lived the problem of real-time construction procurement and disintegrated vendor spend firsthand. Triplicate turns $40M in annual spend data into actionable intelligence — catching waste, flagging anomalies, and surfacing savings that slip through every manual process.
Targeting $3–5M in annual savings for anchor customers alone.
Construction's most expensive problems happen in the field — not in the back office. Anchorsite gives superintendents, foremen, and project managers an AI co-pilot trained on construction knowledge: answering questions, surfacing risks, and helping crews navigate the complexity of live job sites without picking up a phone or waiting for a meeting.
Targeting zero-training field adoption — built to work the first time a crew member picks it up.

From the fourth-generation operator who's led hundreds of millions in projects to the team that shipped 15 apps to App Store top-10 rankings — every person here has earned their seat at the table.
Hybrid fourth-generation leader who bridges the boardroom and the wheelbarrow. The embodiment of what UDOR believes: domain expertise is the unfair advantage.
Former Microsoft, Disney, Logitech. Deep experience with venture studio models and go-to-market strategy across consumer and enterprise products.
15 apps in the top 10 of their respective App Store category. Brings consumer-grade design sensibility to an industry that has never had it.
Seasoned agentic build team. Our primary technical partner for productionizing the ideas that make it from Spark to Flame stage.
Pact's speed-of-light agentic engineering platform and team will bring tremendous velocity to UDOR's builds.
Springfield, MA is not a tech hub. That's the point. We're not building tools that look good in a demo environment — we're building tools that survive contact with actual construction sites, actual crews, and actual deadlines.
Being embedded in Western Massachusetts — where Fontaine Bros has built the community for 93 years — gives us something no SaaS company headquartered in San Francisco can replicate: real projects as our test environment, every single day.
Innovation budget already operating — not a pitch, not a promise. The machine is running.
Over 1 million square feet under active construction. Every idea gets deployed against real conditions, real crews, and real deadlines.
Vendor networks, subcontractor relationships, and municipal trust built over four generations. No cold outreach required.
Construction operators don't trust tech built by people who've never been on a job site. We have credibility that can't be manufactured.
Springfield to the world. The problems we solve here are universal to every construction market globally.
Whether you're a construction operator with a problem you've been living for 20 years, a capital partner who sees the opportunity, or an innovator looking for a real test environment — we want to hear from you.
You've lived a problem that needs solving. You have the expertise. We have the platform, the capital, and the test environment to build around it.
Looking for construction's AI future at the ground floor. We offer direct access to a live laboratory and a 93-year-old network.
UDOR is exactly what Massachusetts looks like when it bets on its own industrial future. Let's talk about how to amplify that story.
