About ArchiLabs

ArchiLabs is an AI-native CAD engine company founded in 2024 by Brian Bakerman and William Meng, two Carnegie Mellon alumni backed by Y Combinator. Based in San Francisco, the startup specializes in streamlining MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) workflows for architects and engineers, serving neoclouds, hyperscalers, IT tenants, and data center builders within the $13 trillion AEC industry. The founding team brings deep domain expertise, with Bakerman having previously run a home building factory in Oakland and Meng transitioning from a software engineering role at Meta to home building in Texas, both having independently developed CAD tools before combining their efforts.
