Kraaft is a French startup founded in 2020 in Paris by Thomas Reygagne (CEO), Marc Nègre (CPO) and Cédric Boidin (CTO). The company developed a mobile super app for the operational management of construction sites — often called 'WhatsApp for construction' — replacing informal WhatsApp chats with a structured app: group chats, AI-automated daily reports, construction plan management, geotagged photos and custom workflows. The platform is already used by over 1,000 companies across 230,000 sites, including major players like VINCI and Bouygues. In January 2025, it raised €13M in a Series A round led by Dawn Capital with participation from Brick and Mortar Ventures, Chalfen Ventures, Stride VC and OSS Ventures, to expand into the UK and enhance AI capabilities.
