Building intelligence holding company
We build the software that makes buildings intelligent.
Carsonian Ventures is the holding company for EquipTalkIQ, an AI platform for mechanical contractors and building owners, and Axiom Routing, the AI engineering firm that builds and integrates it. Over time, we will grow by acquiring software and AI companies that make that platform stronger.
01 Thesis
Building data is scattered across dozens of tools. The company that unifies it wins.
Equipment records, controller readings, service history, specs and drawings live in separate systems owned by contractors, owners and manufacturers. Our model compounds in three steps.
One system of record
EquipTalkIQ brings every building's equipment and data into one place, from construction through decades of service.
Carried by EquipTalkIQIn-house engineering
Axiom Routing connects customer systems to the platform in 72-hour build loops, and will fold acquired products into it the same way.
Carried by Axiom RoutingBuy capability and customers
Each acquired company adds data, features or a customer base, and gains a larger platform and distribution in return.
Planned · Carsonian Ventures02 Portfolio
Two companies. One platform.
Each company keeps its own name, brand and customers. EquipTalkIQ is the product; Axiom Routing is the engineering firm that builds it and connects it to everything else.
