SWAPP founders (from website)
Spinframe, an Israeli startup that offers AI enabled tech for vehicle inspections, raised $8 million in financing led by Israel’s global shipping company Zim. And fellow Israeli startup SWAPP, which develops automation software for architectural construction documents, raised $11.5 million in a Series A funding round led by Eurazeo, a global investment firm.
Founded in 2019 by three veteran entrepreneurs who sold their last venture to Autodesk, SWAPP boasts that its platform automates the most cumbersome and error-prone architectural planning phase: the production of construction documents (CD). SWAPP clients, says the firm, benefit from completing multiple projects simultaneously at a high speed and focusing more on creative planning and less on tedious repetitive manual labor.
SWAPP applies “intelligent, advanced algorithms to deliver accurate, detailed, and complete Architectural construction documents and BIM models faster than ever before.”

“The product we developed at SWAPP tackles the unfairness I faced as an architect on a daily basis – the excessive amount of time spent on creating intricate plans, rather than concentrating on the design aspect, and the lack of compensation for the many hours I spent on each project,” said Eitan Tsarfati, Co-founder and CEO of SWAPP. “Our main goal is to help our customers become more productive from the moment they start using our platform.”
