goNEON Agentic Systems: AI-Powered Infrastructure Design in Minutes, Not Months

What the Platform Does

goNEON’s core product is an agentic AI platform that automatically generates technically feasible, regulation-compliant infrastructure design alternatives in minutes instead of months. The platform integrates engineering constraints, local regulations, and territorial data to produce evaluable design scenarios.

Designers and operators can compare ten design alternatives in the time it normally takes to produce one. The platform is powered by goNEON’s core agentic system called "N!", which builds automated, logically consistent spatial models.

The Sector Problem It Solves

Infrastructure planning — for rail, roads, energy, and utilities — relies heavily on manual, fragmented processes. Teams spend months evaluating feasibility and regulatory compliance for each project. goNEON’s platform compresses this front-end planning bottleneck.

Instead of waiting weeks for a single feasibility report, engineers can input technical requirements, regulatory frameworks, and real-world site constraints, and the platform generates multiple compliant alternatives in minutes.

Co-Founder Expertise

The founding team combines deep domain knowledge with AI engineering:

• Raphael Eder (CEO): Background in entrepreneurship, AI, and urban systems. Holds degrees from UC San Diego, LSE, and ETH Zurich.
• Dr. Lukas Ballo (CTO): PhD and MSc from ETH Zurich, with deep expertise in transportation, urban systems, and AI-driven infrastructure modeling.

Venture Kick helped the founders make the leap from research to customers, with Eder noting that the program encouraged an early commercial focus and connected the team with investors and other entrepreneurs.

How the Funding Will Be Used

Venture Kick capital will be deployed to:

• Prioritize and advance pilot projects with early design and engineering firms.
• Convert repeatable workflows from those pilots into scalable product modules.
• Validate commercial use cases to anchor the platform’s broader expansion.

goNEON has already generated over USD 250,000 in paid pilot revenue, working with cities and engineering firms, providing early validation for the platform.

The Bottom Line

goNEON is targeting one of the most stubborn inefficiencies in the built world: the slow, manual front-end of infrastructure design. With Venture Kick’s support and early commercial traction, the startup is positioning itself as the first fully agentic infrastructure planning service, compressing months of work into minutes and enabling faster, smarter infrastructure development.
