Katerra
Katerra was a Menlo Park, California off-site construction and building-technology company founded in 2015 by former Flextronics chief executive Michael Marks with Fritz Wolff and Jim Davidson, built on the thesis that a single vertically integrated firm could design, engineer, manufacture and assemble buildings end to end — running its own architecture practice, factories in Phoenix, Tracy and Spokane producing cross-laminated timber and prefabricated wall, floor and bathroom assemblies, and its own supply chain and general contracting arm. It raised more than $2 billion across a dozen rounds, including an $865M Series D led by the SoftBank Vision Fund in January 2018 at a valuation above $3 billion and a $200M recapitalization in December 2020 that handed SoftBank majority control. Its only software product was Katerra Apollo, announced in February 2019 as a design-to-field platform (Apollo Construct, Apollo Insight, Apollo Connect) whose launch materials promised "open API integration" with existing construction workflows — but Apollo was sold to Katerra's own construction customers and never shipped a public developer portal, API reference, SDK or machine-readable specification. The insolvency of its SoftBank-backed lender Greensill Capital cost Katerra its bonding capacity, and the company shut down and filed Chapter 11 in the Southern District of Texas on 6 June 2021. Its assets were broken up: the Apollo software went to Builders FirstSource for roughly $4.5M on 9 September 2021, and the factories were sold separately. katerra.com no longer serves a site — it answers a Cloudflare error 1001 on every path and cannot complete a TLS handshake at all. This profile is retained as a historical record; there is no API surface left to catalog.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
Katerra is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Katerra scores 5.0/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Why this profile is thin
Katerra shut down and filed Chapter 11 on 6 June 2021 and its Apollo software was sold to Builders FirstSource that September; katerra.com now answers Cloudflare error 1001 (HTTP 409) on every path and refuses a TLS handshake entirely, api/docs/developer/apollo subdomains no longer resolve, and 4,068 archived katerra.com URLs contain no developer portal, OpenAPI, Swagger or SDK — only Adobe Experience Manager site JSON such as /bin/www/projects.json — so there is no API surface to profile.
This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. Katerra does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Properties that don't map to a standard resource type
Katerra is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Katerra, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
