WakeCap Technologies is a pioneering company in the construction technology sector, specializing in IoT-based solutions to enhance workforce safety and productivity. Founded in 2017, WakeCap integrates advanced sensors into standard hard hats, creating a seamless system for real-time data collection and analysis. This technology provides construction companies with critical insights into worker activity, equipment utilization, and site safety, thereby optimizing resource allocation and improving overall efficiency.
WakeCap was founded by Dr. Hassan Albalawi, Ishita Sood, Rene Wassenburg, Roy Gilsing, Rami Nassouh, and Badis Glaied. The company was established to address the challenges of job site digitization using emerging technologies. Since its inception, WakeCap has grown significantly, establishing offices in Dubai, Riyadh, and San Francisco. This strategic presence allows the company to leverage the booming construction markets in the Middle East and the advanced technology ecosystem of Silicon Valley.
WakeCap has raised substantial funding through various rounds, including seed and venture capital. Notable investors include Saudi Aramco Entrepreneurship Ventures and Wa’ed Ventures. The company has secured multiple funding rounds, with the latest being a $4 million later-stage VC round in August 2022. This funding has been instrumental in supporting WakeCap’s growth and expansion efforts.
WakeCap offers a comprehensive suite of products designed to improve safety and productivity on construction sites:
In July 2024, WakeCap acquired Crews by Core, an AI-powered project delivery platform. This acquisition aims to create the world’s most comprehensive SaaS and IoT solution for managing construction mega projects.
