Togal.AI, a tech startup that claims its machine learning system can generate 2D construction takeoffs in “mere seconds,” took first place at the eMerge Americas Startup Competition, held recently in Miami. As the winner of the contest, Togal.AI will receive a $420,000 investment. CEO Patrick Murphy pitched the firm’s vision in front of judges, including Kevin O’Leary of the television show “Shark Tank.” “We are honored and beyond excited to see Togal.AI rank as No. 1,” said Murphy, adding: “The construction industry is ripe for innovation.”
