Checkfirst builds an API-first platform that uses AI for remote inspections, image recognition, automated report summaries, and scheduling tailored to TICC workflows. The product schedules inspectors by geography and qualifications to reduce travel, lower environmental footprint, and improve workforce utilization and margins. The company emphasizes scheduling as the primary industry pain point and applies AI to optimize task assignments. Founders include CEO Ben Lambert, CPO Oyvind Henriksen, and CTO Rami Elsawy; Lambert previously worked at Nexmo and Agora. Checkfirst initially used a mix of open-source and commercial AI models and is now building proprietary models for image recognition and scheduling based on its data. The startup is working with several clients on proofs-of-concept, including one client that the company says has 30,000 customers, and has raised a $1.5M pre-seed to advance product development and POCs.
