About the startup project
I am Martin, 37, and have worked over 12 years in inner-city underground construction in Berlin, primarily for the Berlin Water Works and for many years in a leading position. During this time, I have repeatedly experienced how massive planning errors have led to construction stops, accidents, and enormous costs that could have been avoided. That is why I founded Berlin Techbau: an AI-supported platform that prevents construction stops in underground and infrastructure construction before they arise. It brings together property owners, construction companies, municipalities, transport companies, nature and monument conservation, and citizens early and digitally. Unknown and crossing lines are only a small part of the physical problems we solve. The Proof of Concept is ready. A research institute is evaluating the project, two construction companies are pilot partners, and large construction corporations have confirmed it. Plan 2027 we test first modules on 2–3 street sections. First investor talks and startup service talks are already running.
In Berlin, nails are made with heads, after which the goal is from city to city throughout Europe.
About the Job
CTO/Co-Founder for an AI platform against construction stoppages in underground and infrastructure construction. Build with us from scratch: PoC is ready, pilot partners are on board, launch 2027.
You build as a co-founder: the technical foundation of a platform that can change an entire industry. The vision: over 18 modules based on Super-Agents. We start with the groundwork, then the platform grows like a tower crane module by module, from bridge construction, tunnel construction, and motorways to high-rise construction. You are responsible for architecture, technology, and the setup of the first product for our pilots in 2027, and later you lead your own tech team. For this, you get real co-founder status with fair participation, a partner with deep practical knowledge and direct access to construction companies, research, and pilot projects, as well as a problem that costs millions every day. You don't need construction experience, I'll bring that.
