Investing in Zen Intelligence

by Taku Uchimaru

Z Venture Capital (ZVC) has invested in Zen Intelligence, a physical AI startup dedicated to transforming the construction industry.

While generative AI is rapidly improving efficiency in white-collar sectors, industries rooted in physical operations—such as construction—still face significant challenges. Labor shortages, an aging workforce, and difficulties in passing down specialized skills continue to weigh heavily on the field, making it an area where the impact of AI is especially critical.

Zen Intelligence addresses these issues with zenshot, an AI-powered construction management solution built on its proprietary 3D Vision technology and construction-specific foundation model.

Already adopted by over 100 companies across thousands of sites, zenshot enables remote site monitoring and drastically reduces travel time, delivering measurable improvements in productivity and reshaping the way construction projects are managed.

At its core, Zen Intelligence is a team committed to building an AI-native future for construction, starting with site data. Their product-first approach, technical excellence, and bold vision to “rebuild industries through physical AI” deeply resonated with us, leading to this investment.

By partnering with Zen Intelligence, we aim to accelerate the digital transformation of the construction industry and help unlock the next chapter of innovation in one of society’s most vital sectors.
