Cuby Technologies, Inc. (also known as Cuby) is an American construction technology company that develops transportable "mobile micro-factories" for residential homebuilding. Rather than selling finished houses, the company positions its product as the factory itself: containerized, relocatable production units that are set up near a construction site to manufacture kit-of-parts components for single-family homes, which are then assembled on site.[4][5][6]
The company was incorporated in Delaware in 2021 by Aleh Kandrashou, a physicist and serial deep-technology entrepreneur, and Aleksandr Gampel; the company dates the development of its underlying technology to 2018.[4][2] It conducts product research and development at a facility in Eastern Europe.[7][5][8] Cuby has been backed by venture investors including At One Ventures and Type One Ventures.[4][2]
History
editCuby Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 2021, though the company traces its underlying technology to industrial research and development work dating to 2018.[2] The company's co-founders are Aleh Kandrashou, who serves as chief executive, and Aleksandr Gampel.[2] Kandrashou is a physicist and the author, under the name Oleg Kondrashov, of the management book The Human Vector.[9]
In January 2023, Fast Company profiled the company, reporting that it was backed by the climate-technology venture fund At One Ventures and describing its "inflatable looking" transportable factories.[4] In 2024, the company's Mobile Micro-Factory won a Gold Edison Award in the Industrial & Commercial Technology category.[10] By 2024, Cuby reported a team of about 140 people, built over roughly three and a half years.[7] By 2025, the company said it employed about 243 people across three continents and had invested more than one million cumulative engineering hours in its technology.[3]
In 2025, Cuby was the subject of a documentary produced by the YouTube channel Beyond, titled Cuby: Inside the Secret Factory Building Homes to End the Housing Crisis, which followed the company from its Belarus research facility to the early stages of its first United States deployment.[8]
By 2025, the company had raised approximately US$23.4 million in disclosed funding, including an early venture round and a later round of roughly US$17 million.[2] The company has also reported filing several patents related to building engineering and construction.[2]
Mobile Micro-Factory
editCuby's core product is the Mobile Micro-Factory (MMF), a relocatable manufacturing unit delivered in shipping containers and assembled on or near a building site.[7][5] According to the company, each MMF occupies roughly 30,000 sq ft (2,800 m2) of production space on a total site of about 195,000 sq ft (18,100 m2), small enough to fit within a typical shopping-mall parking lot, and can produce kits of parts for up to about 200 homes per year.[7][6] Each factory is designed to serve homes within a radius of approximately 150 to 200 mi (240 to 320 km).[5]
The homes are built from a kit of parts that is delivered to the site and assembled by a small crew, an approach the company compares to lean manufacturing and just-in-time supply in the automotive industry.[5][11] The company has said its method uses steel construction and reduces the skilled-labor hours required relative to conventional building. It has described a hard cost of roughly US$100 per square foot, which it contrasts with a United States average of about US$150, with a build time of about 30 days.[12][5][11][3] Cuby does not sell the homes themselves; according to Pro Builder, it sells the factories at a price of about US$10 million each.[12]
The company has said it measures itself primarily against a single internal metric: output per factory in square feet relative to the skilled-labor hours required to produce it.[6]
Business model
editCuby describes its product as the factory rather than the home, partnering with local and regional homebuilders or developers who operate the factories while retaining their own land, brand, and customer relationships.[13][6] The company contrasts its distributed, smaller-factory model with earlier industrialized-construction ventures such as Katerra and Veev, which together raised more than US$1.5 billion and pursued large, centralized factories before encountering difficulties with capacity utilization and funding.[5] Cuby has argued that smaller factories tied to committed offtake can be deployed more quickly and reach break-even at lower utilization than centralized plants.[5]
Deployments
editCuby's first United States factory has been under construction on the desert outskirts of Pahrump, Nevada, with operations reported for 2026.[5][13][8] The company has said it intends to build a network of micro-factories across the United States and has described a longer-term goal of deploying on the order of 275 factories over the following decade.[7] Early plans also referenced markets including Las Vegas and Denver.[7]
