Vereyo joins Google for Startups Cloud Program

The Los Angeles AI estimating startup says it has signed up 100 builders in 45 days as it prepares a LA Tech Week demo event on Oct. 16. Vereyo will use Google Cloud support to scale its plan-reading system for contractors bidding faster on construction jobs.

Why it matters: - Vereyo is targeting one of construction’s slowest steps: turning plan sets into priced bids. - The company says its software can help contractors estimate faster, compare subcontractor bids and win work sooner. - Google for Startups Cloud Program support gives Vereyo added resources to scale as more contractors join.

What happened: - Vereyo announced it has been formally accepted into the Google for Startups Cloud Program. - The Los Angeles-based company will host a private LA Tech Week event on Oct. 16, 2026, at a Beverly Hills home built with Vereyo technology. - Founders plan to demo the platform for contractors, builders and investors at the event. - Vereyo says it has signed up 100 builders in its first 45 days.

The details: - Vereyo reads PDF plan sets contractors receive for bidding and creates a priced preliminary estimate across more than 20 trades. - Pricing comes from a proprietary database of real Southern California subcontractor bids. - The platform automates takeoff, pricing and bid comparison while showing every measurement, line item and price in real time. - Contractors can adjust estimates before sending them to a client. - Bid Center lets contractors send trade packages to subcontractors directly from a Vereyo estimate. - Bid Check compares incoming bids against the takeoff and Vereyo pricing, then flags missing scope and outlier prices. - The Google for Startups Cloud Program provides Google Cloud credits, technical resources and support to build with Google’s AI models. - Vereyo plans to use that support to scale its plan-reading pipeline and process more plan sets at once. - The company is currently onboarding Southern California general contractors and remodelers. - Contractors attending LA Tech Week can book a demo by emailing oona@vereyo.com. - Vereyo was founded in Los Angeles by Nicholas Jarecki and Matt Russell. - Jarecki previously built the email marketing platform TopSend. - Russell is a working general contractor with more than 25 years of estimating experience.

Between the lines: - Vereyo is positioning itself as a contractor-built alternative to generic AI tools that guess at construction costs. - The emphasis on real subcontractor pricing suggests the company is trying to win trust in a business where small estimating errors can erase margins. - Acceptance into Google’s startup program also signals Vereyo wants to expand beyond Southern California more quickly.

What's next: - Vereyo will use LA Tech Week to show contractors how the platform works on real plans. - The company aims to keep onboarding more builders as it scales with Google Cloud support. - Vereyo says the Google program will help it take the product beyond Los Angeles. - Contractors can learn more at the company's website. - More information about the accelerator is available at Google for Startups Cloud Program.
