Nodes & Links is an AI enterprise platform that provides schedule management and project delivery tools across construction, energy, aerospace and defense. The platform automates progress tracking, change control, trend analysis and delay navigation, identifying root causes of delays so teams can address them and prevent recurrence. By automating administrative work such as report generation—where teams typically lose four days every two weeks—the product gives project teams more time to act on insights. Customers like AECOM say the platform unlocks tailored predictive insights, enabling finer plan adjustments and closer monitoring during execution, leading to healthier, more efficient and greener outcomes. Financially, Nodes & Links has raised $12M in a Series B funding round led by ETF Partners. The company plans to use the new capital to expand operations and scale across the US. Nodes & Links builds Aegis, a scheduling platform that determines when and in what order materials and assembly should be delivered for large-scale infrastructure projects. Its software is used by contractors including Balfour Beatty, Costain and BAM Nuttal and the company says Aegis has delivered millions in cost savings by getting materials and assembly organized correctly. The product competes with incumbent infrastructure software such as Oracle Primavera and with manual tools like Excel. The company argues that most major projects run over time and budget — citing an Oxford survey finding only 8% are delivered on time and on budget — and that better scheduling can materially reduce costs and environmental impact. Nodes & Links frames its approach as expanding the workforce to include machines so humans can focus on higher-value creative tasks. The new funding will be used to accelerate adoption of the platform. Nodes & Links is a London-based startup with a software laboratory in Cyprus that applies complexity science to project management. The company develops software designed to help organisations control and manage complex projects, which the article cites as accounting for more than 4% of global GDP. Founded in 2018, Nodes & Links says its software has been deployed to de-risk the maintenance plan for a UK-based nuclear reactor and to improve baseline estimates for a billion-pound infrastructure project. The firm also reports improving upon the industry-standard critical path method by over 2,800% in the aerospace domain. The startup has raised £1.4 million in a funding round led by ADV with participation from Seedcamp and Entrepreneur First.
