Tokyo-based construction technology startup MOZU has raised approximately JPY 1.3 billion (around $9 million) in a Series B funding round to strengthen its AI capabilities and expand its digital procurement platform for construction materials.
The round was led by Spiral Capital. Existing investor BRICKS FUND TOKYO also participated, alongside new investors Mizuho Capital and Minnanno Market. The company additionally secured financing from the Japan Finance Corporation.
With the latest investment, MOZU's total funding has reached approximately JPY 1.95 billion. The company plans to use the capital to develop AI tools that can simplify material selection, automate quotation generation, and support construction planning.
MOZU operates MOZUOrder, a membership-based digital marketplace that enables construction companies to purchase building materials through a single platform.
The marketplace offers a range of products, including kitchens, bathrooms, air conditioners, wallpaper, and other construction supplies. According to the company, the platform has attracted more than 20,000 registered members within about 18 months. That represents nearly 10% of its target market of around 200,000 construction companies across Japan.
The company said it intends to expand beyond digital procurement by integrating AI into construction workflows.
Its planned AI features are designed to automate tasks such as material selection, quotation preparation, and project planning. According to MOZU, these processes often require several days but could be completed in minutes through automation.
The funding will also support product development and the company's broader strategy to build AI-driven tools for the construction industry.
