Summary
$16 million in seed funding will help nine-month-old Drafted expand an AI tool that turns user prompts into floor plans and 3D home layouts.
Users enter details such as lot size, home size and room count, then revise designs in seconds; Drafted aims to sit between costly architects and rigid stock-plan sites.
250,000 people have visited the site since launch five months ago, and users generated more than 300,000 floor plans in the past month, with over a third of visitors identified as homebuyers.
Basic plan sets are expected to cost about $1,000, and the San Francisco startup plans to begin charging within three to six months while marketing through roughly 20 creators a month.
Founder Nick Donahue previously shut down home-design startup Atmos in early 2025 after high interest rates hurt affordability, then rebuilt the concept around AI with backing from Y Combinator and other investors.
