Bulgaria's MFG Invest backs US construction-AI startup Structo with $150K SAFE

What's the deal? Bulgaria's MFG InvestDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → has made a $150,000 investment (about €135,000) in Structo, a California-based startup building an agentic AI platform for reviewing construction payment applications. The deal, announced November 9, 2026, was made through a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) that converts into equity at Structo's next financing round.

What does Structo do? Its platform checks every line item of a construction payment application against the underlying contract and supporting documents. It flags overbilling and contract non-compliance, then produces auditable results that reference the exact contract clauses.

What's the endgame? Structo works with project owners, real estate developers, and their cost consultants, and already counts paying customers among large US construction projects. The tool extends reviews from a sample to the full submission while cutting the time and cost of the process.

The signal: The deal shows Bulgarian backer MFG Invest reaching across the Atlantic for early-stage AI exposure, placing a small bet on applied AI in an industry — construction — where manual document review remains costly and error-prone.
