Materio

“Can a single Project Delivery System replace the 10+ tools that interior design and design-build firms cobble together to run their projects?”

The story

Materio was founded in 2020 after the founders' own apartment remodel exposed how fragmented interior design and build project management was. The product positions itself as a Project Delivery System spanning planning, design, procurement, and construction — explicitly bridging designer and builder workflows rather than picking one side. Notable strategic choice: project-capacity-based pricing instead of seat-based, reflecting a deliberate vertical-SaaS posture targeting small design studios through design-build firms.
