Jonas Ebrahimi

Founder

My parents were general contractors, and during university, I gained experience working at JLL. After graduating, I joined IXM and was the youngest commodity trader in their history, primarily working with the European aluminum team. In this role, I managed the delivery of over $1 billion worth of refined aluminum annually, sourced from industrial projects around the globe.

Previously, I was a software engineer at nPlan, a startup focused on delivering AI solutions for large-scale construction projects with clients such as Shell, ExxonMobil, and Skanska. Drawing on my experience in construction tech, I’m now building Karmen, an AI Assistant for Construction Project Managers.
