Cascade helps architecture and construction firms win government contracts by tracking opportunities and using AI to predict project fit.
$3.5MSeed
Government contracting is finally getting the software-first treatment—this signals that A16Z sees real margin expansion in helping SMBs navigate fragmented procurement systems. At $3.5M seed, Cascade is likely building out their AI prediction layer and sales motion to land their first 50-100 firms, which means the unit economics on contract-win fees or SaaS subscriptions need to prove out fast. If you're building any B2B workflow software for regulated industries (legal tech, compliance, supply chain), watch how Cascade handles customer acquisition in a market where trust and relationships traditionally dominate—that playbook matters.
