News Summary

LightYX, a Tel Aviv–based construction technology startup, closed an $11 million Series A round led by NOVA by Saint‑Gobain, supported by multiple investors and prior government grants totaling $3.3 million. The financing will accelerate U.S. expansion, European partnerships, product development and manufacturing for its electro‑optical laser projection system that maps plans directly onto floors, walls and ceilings. The system uses optical engineering, real‑time vision and AI plan recognition to deliver sub‑2mm accuracy, reduce rework in finishing trades, and integrate into contractor workflows. The company reports deployments across hundreds of U.S. projects covering more than 25 million square feet.

LightYX Secures $11M Series A to Scale Sub‑2mm Laser Projection for Construction

LightYX, a Tel Aviv–based construction technology startup, closed an $11 million Series A funding round led by NOVA by Saint‑Gobain. The new financing, combined with prior government grants, is intended to speed the company’s expansion in the United States and into Europe and to accelerate product development for its laser projection system that maps plans directly onto jobsite surfaces.

Key facts up front

• Total Series A raised: $11 million.
• Lead investor: NOVA by Saint‑Gobain (the corporate venture arm of Saint‑Gobain).
• Other participants: Yachad Capital Partners, Shibumi International, Somersault Ventures, and private backers from Israel and abroad tied to real estate and construction.
• Government support: Six grants from the Israel Innovation Authority totaling $3.3 million.
• Product claim: a proprietary electro‑optical laser projection system with sub‑two‑millimeter (around 1/16‑inch) projection accuracy.

What the company makes and why it matters

LightYX builds a combined hardware and software system that projects layout plans directly onto floors, walls and ceilings. The system continuously scans the surrounding environment and updates projected lines and markings in real time to match actual field conditions. Core technical building blocks include optical engineering, real‑time vision, and AI‑based plan recognition. The company positions the system as a tool for eliminating guesswork and reducing human error during finishing trades such as drywall and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) installation.

Market traction and scale

LightYX reports deployments across several hundred U.S. projects, covering more than 25 million square feet of layout work. The company works with dozens of contractors and subcontractors and partners with leading construction distributors to validate the product in real‑world conditions.

How the funding will be used

Proceeds from the Series A plus the Israel Innovation Authority grants are described by the company as providing a foundation to accelerate growth. Planned uses include expanding U.S. operations, forming new partnerships across Europe, enhancing product capabilities, and improving integration into construction workflows. The company aims to achieve more than triple growth by 2026 while scaling manufacturing and field support.

Business and technical positioning

LightYX frames its product as part of a broader push to digitize and automate construction. By turning design intent into visible, on‑site guidance, the system is pitched as a way to speed finishing phases, reduce costly rework, and maintain quality and compliance. The company also highlights a growing portfolio of registered patents that it says positions it as a pioneer in construction laser projection.

Leadership and governance

The startup was co‑founded by a team that now includes the CEO, the GM of U.S. operations, and the CTO. Leadership emphasizes rapid scaling in North America and Europe along with continued investment in both hardware and software designed specifically for field teams. A senior executive from Saint‑Gobain Ecophon serves on the company’s board, reflecting the lead investor’s operational connection to the startup.

Claims and caveats

Key performance claims include sub‑two‑millimeter accuracy and live adjustments to projected layouts based on continuous site scanning. The company describes this level of precision as among the best currently available in the market. Readers should note that performance and deployment outcomes can vary by project, and reported coverage figures and growth targets are company statements.

Background and timeline

The announcement was released from Tel Aviv in early September 2025. Prior to this round, the company secured multiple government grants totaling $3.3 million and developed its product through field trials and partnerships with contractors and distributors.
