Medial

Tech-enabled construction company Brick&Bolt is raising Rs 16.6 crore (approximately $1.95 million) in its pre-Series B round from Foundamental. Foundamental is a US-based investment firm that has previously invested in Indian companies, including Infra.Market in its Series A round in 2020. The board at Brick&Bolt has passed a special resolution to issue 369 pre-Series B compulsory convertible preference shares at an issue price of Rs 4,50,087 to raise the aforementioned sum, its regulatory filing sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) shows. As per filings, the proceeds will be utilized for immediate working capital and long-term funding requirements for the business. Brick&Bolt provides construction solutions such as complete construction, carpentry, woodwork, kitchen renovations for land and home owners. It operates in Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi-NCR and Pune. According to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, the Bengaluru-based firm has raised approximately $16.5 million to date, led by Surge Ventures, Accel, and Celesta Capital. This includes a $10 million Series A round secured in January 2023 from Accel and Celesta Capital. According to Entrackr’s estimates, the firm will be valued at approximately Rs 891 crore ($105 million) post-allotment, marking a nearly 2.9X increase from around Rs 310 crore ($36.5 million) in its Series A round. Participating investor Foundamental will hold an 8.28% stake. It’s likely to raise additional funds in this round, which may further impact its valuation. The company reported an 81% surge in operating revenue, standing at Rs 42.25 crore for the fiscal year ending March 2024. Notably, it managed to curb losses, which declined by 10% to Rs 31 crore in the last fiscal year (FY24).
