What vyzn does
vyzn AG is a Swiss DeepTech company spun off from ETH Zurich in August 2024, built on the COMPAS open-source computational design framework developed at ETH. The company sells a SaaS platform that uses its proprietary Deep Model Processing (DMP) AI to automatically transform raw 3D/BIM building models (IFC format) into clean, semantically enriched, simulation-ready reference models in minutes — eliminating the weeks-long manual model preparation that traditionally prevents holistic building analysis in early planning phases. From this single reference model, the platform delivers simultaneous analyses across five analytical bundles: Emissions (LCA per SIA 2032/DIN EN 15978 and circularity, certified for Minergie and SNBS), Finance (cost estimation per eBKP-H), Energy (heating demand per SIA 380/1 via Enerweb), Comfort (summer heat protection per SIA 180 via BOP integration), and Safety (fire, acoustic, structural from 2027). The company also offers expert-delivered service packages (Competition Analysis, Project Exploration, Project Deep-Dive) and additional professional services (training, on-site visits, 2D-to-3D conversion).
vyzn targets the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry — specifically building owners/developers, architects, consultants/planners, and general contractors — with a hybrid GTM combining enterprise field sales, self-serve SaaS, and expert-delivered services. Customers include over 50 enterprise organizations such as Zurich Airport, Implenia, Halter, Mobimo, Drees & Sommer, Swiss Property, HRS Real Estate, and Amstein + Walthert, primarily in Switzerland with expansion into Germany underway through the GROUNDBREAKERS accelerator (pilots from early 2026). Revenue derives from annual subscriptions (quote-based, full platform or individual bundles/apps) plus professional services and add-ons. The company closed a seed financing round in December 2025 led by Spicehaus Partners and Kiilto Ventures with participation from additional strategic investors from the construction and real estate sectors; headcount is in the 11-50 range. Notable recognition includes Minergie/SNBS certification (first web-based 3D/BIM software), ULI PropTech Innovation Challenge 2025 (Switzerland winner), ETH Spin-off status, and Digital Top 4.

vyzn competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Nemetschek Group: German AEC software group owning Allplan, Graphisoft (ArchiCAD), Vectorworks, and dRofus. Broad incumbent providing the dominant BIM tools in European architecture practices and a potential competitor or partner for vyzn's integrated building analysis capabilities.
- Autodesk: Global BIM software leader with Revit, Forma, and Insight covering design, simulation, and sustainability analysis. Represents the broad incumbent threat: a much larger platform that could integrate AI-driven LCA and performance analysis directly into its dominant BIM workflows.
- Trimble: Major AEC software conglomerate with Tekla, SketchUp, and acquired Sefaira covering structural, architectural, and sustainability use cases. Broad incumbent comparable to vyzn's multi-bundle approach but as part of a much wider portfolio serving the global construction industry.
Direct peers
- Solibri: Finnish BIM quality and analysis software for model checking, code compliance, and quantity takeoff. Comparable to vyzn in the BIM analysis category, serving architects and engineers with model-based insights, though focused on model QA rather than performance simulation.
- Madaster: Dutch/German material passport and circularity platform that enables building resource passports, DGNB certification scoring, and CSRD reporting. Directly comparable to vyzn's circularity/LCA functionality and is also a current integration partner, creating a partially overlapping competitive and collaborative relationship.
- One Click LCA: Finland-based LCA software for the construction industry, providing life cycle assessment and embodied carbon calculations. Highly comparable to vyzn's Emissions Bundle and targets the same AEC sustainability use cases, though with a different technical approach (database-driven vs. BIM-native).
- IES (Integrated Environmental Solutions): UK-based building performance analysis software covering energy, carbon, daylight, and comfort simulations. Highly comparable to vyzn's Energy and Comfort Bundles, serving architects and engineers for early-stage performance assessment, though with a longer-standing position in the market.
- Sefaira: Energy and carbon performance design analysis tool (now part of Trimble) targeting architects for early-stage building performance decisions. Comparable to vyzn's Energy and Emissions Bundles with similar focus on real-time design feedback.
- Tally (KT Innovations): Revit-integrated LCA plugin enabling life cycle assessment directly within BIM workflows. Comparable to vyzn's LCA capability but limited to the Revit ecosystem and without vyzn's broader multi-bundle platform approach.
- cove.tool: Building performance optimization platform focused on energy, daylight, and cost analysis during early design stages. Comparable to vyzn's holistic optimization across multiple building performance dimensions and serves a similar architect and developer audience.
