Digital inspection platform for government-backed construction and senior housing
Aoka builds inspection software for government-contracted construction and senior living projects, with a tech stack spanning React, Next.js, and PostgreSQL. The company is predominantly construction and operations staff (72 of 101 active roles), with a small engineering team—a typical shape for domain-first SaaS rather than platform play. Their recurring pain points (inspection turnaround, compliance delays, client communication) map directly to their project list, indicating a tight feedback loop between field operations and product.
