Funding Archiboost Raised $6.2M for Drawing Review, Into a Category That Has Already Started Consolidating A San Francisco platform that reads PDFs and Revit metadata together announced a combined pre-seed and seed round on 3 November, led by Marathon Venture Capital and Hanabi Capital, though the two outlets covering it split on which firm led which round. The reports give no valuation and no total raised beyond the $6.2m. The interesting number is not the round — it is 550,000 drawing sheets. Hugo Pegley · Nov 4, 2026
Funding Shackleton Raised $5M and Called It an Agentic Operating System. Battery Ventures Has Now Backed Two of Those.
