Funding led by NOVA by Saint-Gobain to accelerate U.S. expansion and enhance laser projection technology for the construction industry.

Intro
Tel Aviv-based construction technology company LightYX announced an $11 million Series A funding round on September 4, 2025. The round was led by NOVA by Saint-Gobain, with participation from Yachad Capital Partners, Shibumi International, and Somersault Ventures. Founded around 2018 and led by CEO Guy Ben-Romano, LightYX develops advanced laser projection systems designed to improve precision and efficiency on construction sites. The company plans to use the funding to expand in the United States, strengthen R&D, and establish new distribution partnerships. LightYX technology has already been deployed in more than 25 million square feet of construction layouts, particularly in drywall and MEP applications.

What the Company Does
LightYX combines hardware and software to deliver a laser-based layout solution that brings digital plans directly into the physical workspace.

Key features include:

• Laser projection that displays installation instructions directly onto surfaces

• Millimeter-level accuracy for drywall, electrical, and mechanical layouts

• Integration with BIM and other digital construction workflows

• Reduction of layout errors, rework, and verification costs

• Hands-free operation that boosts crew productivity and safety

The system enables crews to follow exact specifications in real time, significantly speeding up layout execution and improving quality control.

Who It’s Best For
Segments:

• General contractors

• Subcontractors
