Pilot Partners
Use it first.
Shape what ships.
We’re building Kauli with a small pilot group of construction firms — not for an imagined average customer. Free for your first six months — if public pricing isn’t out by then, it stays free until it is — and pilot firms keep their pilot terms. In exchange: real tenders, honest feedback, and case studies we earn.
Straight Talk
We’re early. That’s the point.
The pilot group starts working with the platform in Q4 2026; general availability follows in 2027. Pilot partners get the products as they’re built — configured by us, around your templates, your trade divisions, your workflows — and every rough edge you find makes the product better before the wider market ever sees it. We keep the pilot group small because we personally set up and tune every firm’s system. That’s a limitation, and we’d rather state it plainly than dress it up.
The Deal
Simple terms,
stated up front
What You Get
Free for your first six months — and if public pricing isn’t out by then, it stays free until it is. The platform configured to your operation by the people who build it — your document templates, your scoping conventions, your trade divisions. A direct line to the builders, not a ticket queue. And your pilot terms are locked in when pricing is published.
What We Ask
Real tenders and live project work to run through the system. Honest, blunt feedback — the rough edges you find are the product plan. Patience with software that is visibly becoming itself. And, when the results earn it, a measured case study with your name on it.
What It Costs
Nothing for your first six months — and if public pricing isn’t out by then, nothing until it is. When pricing is published — before general availability — it will be per-seat and transparent, posted on this website. Never a percentage of your construction volume. Never a quote you have to book a demo to see.
What Happens Next
A short conversation first — we learn your operation and where the pain is sharpest. If it’s a fit, we configure your system around your templates, trade divisions, and workflows, and you start running real work through the products as they land. No long procurement, no implementation invoice: pilot partners work directly with the people building the platform, from week one.
The Road
Where this is going,
and when
Applications Open
We’re speaking with general contractors, specialty trades, and engineering firms. Applications are reviewed personally. Expect a conversation, not a drip campaign.
Pilot Group Onboarding
We configure each firm’s system — templates, trade divisions, workflows — and the pilot group starts running real work through the products as they land: Bid and Vendors first, with more to follow.
General Availability
The platform opens to the wider market, hardened by everything the pilot group taught us. Pricing published before launch. Pilot partners keep pilot terms.
