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.
