Knowledge Architecture
Knowledge Architecture builds knowledge and learning management software for architecture, engineering, and construction firms. Our flagship platform, Synthesis, is the leading intranet, LMS, and AI-powered search solution purpose-built for the AEC industry. Synthesis integrates seamlessly with the tools firms already rely on—such as Deltek, Unanet, OpenAsset, Newforma, and Revit—bringing knowledge, learning, and AI together in one connected system. Founded in 2009, Knowledge Architecture now serves more than 160 AEC clients. We are privately held, employee-owned, and deeply committed to helping firms learn faster and build smarter, more adaptable practices. Beyond software, we invest heavily in the community we serve, co-creating and sharing best practices through our annual KA Connect conference, the Smarter by Design podcast, and the Smarter by Design newsletter.

Kantiv
Kantiv, formerly Joist AI, is the pursuit intelligence platform that equips Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) firms to pursue and win more work. We connect a firm’s institutional knowledge, proposals, project data, and client history into an intelligent system that works at every stage of the pursuit lifecycle. Every pursuit makes the next one stronger. We were founded by people who came up through AEC marketing and know firsthand what it costs when a talented team spends its best hours on a scramble instead of a strategy. Kantiv exists to change that: giving AEC marketers the foundation they need to win the right work and earn their seat at the table.
