Sierra Ventures managing partner Shashank Saxena said: “Planera’s innovative approach to leveraging SaaS in the construction industry is a testament to the transformative power of intelligent applications. 

“The industry is ripe for disruption with the shift towards collaborative, cloud-based, and visually-driven solutions. Planera’s team has the proven expertise and vision to lead this change and deliver immense value to general contractors.”
