3D-Printed Coastal Infrastructure
Kind Designs Has Raised $10 Million to Scale Living Seawalls

Kind Designs closed a $10 million Pre-Series A round at a $70 million valuation, doubling its original funding target as demand for its 3D-printed living seawalls accelerated across coastal communities. The company has secured $10 million in contracted revenue and built a $175 million active pipeline, expanding beyond residential projects into municipal, luxury hospitality and federal defense applications, including a $2 million U.S. Navy contract.
Using large-scale 3D printing and ecological engineering, Kind Designs builds seawalls, artificial reefs and living shorelines that protect against flooding and storm surges while improving water quality and restoring marine ecosystems. Recent projects include installations at Miami Beach's Fontainebleau and Ritz-Carlton, alongside expansion into New York, Charleston and California.
Kind Designs shows how nature-based engineering can deliver the protective function of traditional seawalls while actively rebuilding surrounding ecosystems.
