Arash Barati is Co-Founder and CEO of PLAN0 AI, a Y Combinator-backed platform transforming how the construction industry approaches preconstruction cost intelligence using AI and computer vision.

Arash holds a Bachelor of Science from Iran University of Science and Technology and a Diploma from the Information Technology Institute in Vancouver, building a strong foundation in software engineering across multiple industries.

With experience spanning oil and gas technology at SLB, enterprise e-commerce at PNI Digital Media, and software development at Trimble, Arash brings rare cross-industry technical depth to the construction tech space.

At PLAN0 AI, Arash leads the development of computer vision AI models trained on tens of thousands of architectural plans to generate industry-standard cost estimates in 30 minutes versus the traditional 2-plus weeks.

PLAN0 AI is backed by Y Combinator and is pioneering a proprietary database of real-time localized construction cost data, with a vision to become the Bloomberg of construction for real estate developers, general contractors, and investors.
