The investment will accelerate Kahua’s next phase of growth following its achievement of $100 million in annualized revenue
ALPHARETTA, Ga., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kahua®, an AI enterprise construction platform for complex capital programs, today announced a minority growth investment from Bain Capital’s Tech Opportunities (“Bain Capital”) at a valuation above $1 billion. The partnership will support Kahua’s next phase of growth, including continued investment in AI and product innovation as well as go-to-market, customer success, and talent development initiatives.
“We’ve spent years building Kahua into the system organizations rely on to run their most complex programs, and this investment validates that work,” said Scott Unger, CEO and co-founder of Kahua. “Reaching $100 million in annualized revenue is a milestone of which we are incredibly proud. It reflects the trust of our customers and the strength of our team. We’re excited to partner with Bain Capital, which understands what it takes to help innovative software businesses scale. Together, we intend to accelerate our AI capabilities and product innovation, deepen the value we deliver to customers, and invest in the talent needed for Kahua’s continued growth.”
Capital programs in highly regulated and mission-critical environments, including federal government and defense, transportation, healthcare, and education, are becoming larger and more complex. At the same time, investment is accelerating across energy, digital infrastructure, data centers, and other major asset sectors. Yet many organizations still manage these multi-year programs across fragmented systems and disconnected processes. Kahua was built for this complexity, connecting the people, processes and data behind a capital program in one configurable, governed platform.
Kahua today serves more than 2,500 customers across a diverse range of industries, supporting more than $400 billion in capital programs on its platform. As a connected system of record, Kahua provides the governed data and context needed to make AI useful within the workflows where customers plan, manage, and make decisions across the asset lifecycle.
“Kahua has built the technology backbone for owners and delivery teams, connecting critical data across the full asset lifecycle—from funding and planning through construction and long-term operation,” said Philip Meicler, Partner at Bain Capital Tech Opportunities. “Kahua’s differentiated AI platform and leadership in this category positions it as indispensable partner to owners and managers of robust capital programs. We look forward to partnering with Scott and the Kahua team and bringing our experience scaling technology businesses as the company expands across markets.”
