About Briq
Established in 2018 by co-founders Bassem Hamdy and Ron Goldshmidt, Briq operates as a financial automation platform specifically engineered for the construction industry. The company is headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, and was born from Hamdy's extensive experience in construction technology. Having previously held executive roles at Procore and CMiC, Hamdy identified a critical need to address financial inefficiencies and the lack of predictive capabilities within construction project management. This background provided the impetus to create a platform that could digitize and streamline the complex financial workflows endemic to the sector.

Briq's business model is centered on a subscription-based service, providing clients with access to its AI-powered platform. This model generates recurring revenue by offering tailored packages to construction companies of various sizes, from general contractors to specialty firms with revenues between $10 million and $1 billion. The company targets finance executives, operations managers, and IT professionals within these organizations, aiming to replace outdated methods like spreadsheets with a more integrated solution.
The platform's core function is to unify operational, project, and financial data from disparate systems into a single source of truth. It employs artificial intelligence and robotic process automation to automate repetitive and labor-intensive tasks such as data entry, invoice processing, and expense reconciliation. Key features include "AutoPilot" for workflow management, "Otto" as an AI assistant for financial tasks, and "CoPilot" for enhancing forecasting abilities. By analyzing historical data, the platform helps contractors with more accurate budgeting and forecasting, aiming to prevent profit fade and reduce project cost overruns. Briq's technology essentially provides "digital workers" that operate 24/7 to handle routine processes, thereby allowing human employees to concentrate on higher-value strategic activities.
