Miami-based Kind Designs announced the successful closure of a $10 million Pre-Series A funding round, achieving a $70 million valuation. This brings the company's total funding to $21.5 million. Demand for their revolutionary 3D-printed Living Seawalls has surged, propelling the company's growth from a residential startup to a key player in commercial and government infrastructure.
The company has secured $10 million in contracted revenue and boasts a $175 million active pipeline, expanding into municipal, hospitality, and federal defense sectors, including a recent $2 million U.S. Navy contract. Investors include Mark Cuban, Adrian Fenty, and Kyle Kuzma.
Kind Designs' innovative approach uses 3D-printing and ecological engineering to create seawalls that not only protect coastal communities but also improve water quality and restore marine ecosystems. Their product line now includes Living Seawall Tiles™ and 3D-Printed Artificial Reefs.
This new capital will be used to expand into new markets like New York and California, triple production capacity, support large-scale projects, and grow their engineering and operations teams. Recent projects include work for the Fontainebleau and Ritz-Carlton in Miami Beach, and initial projects in New York City and Charleston.
