History
nPlan is a UK-based company specializing in utilizing artificial intelligence to improve the accuracy and reliability of construction project forecasts. Founded in 2017 by Dev Amratia and Alan Mosca, the company emerged from the Entrepreneur First accelerator program. The founders identified a significant gap in the ability of traditional project management tools to predict delays and manage risks effectively, leading them to develop AI-driven solutions.

The company's journey began by assembling a comprehensive dataset of past construction project schedules to train their AI algorithms. This database has since grown to include over 750,000 project schedules, making it one of the largest collections of its kind. nPlan's technology leverages this data to provide actionable insights, helping project managers and stakeholders mitigate risks and avoid costly overruns.

Funding
nPlan's early success was marked by securing a seed round of £2.7 million in 2018. In 2020, the company raised an additional $18.5 million in Series A funding, led by GV (formerly Google Ventures).
