About
Mollie Claypool and Gilles Retsin founded Automated Architecture (AUAR) in 2019 to make construction sustainable. It licenses low-cost robotic micro-factories and software to house builders so they can build low-energy timber homes at scale.
AUAR raised a £2.6m seed round, and its first micro-factory, in Belgium, became profitable within six weeks of full production. It aims for 40 micro-factory partners by 2030.
Number 75 on the Startups 100 Index 2025.
