Jeevy Fabrication

What do they actually do

Jeevy Fabrication is a contractor that delivers complex welded assemblies end to end. Customers upload drawings, and Jeevy’s software parses them into a bill of materials, a realistic schedule, and a QA/test plan. The company then matches the job to a vetted shop in its network, manages procurement and logistics, and delivers finished assemblies with documentation and schedule transparency YC profile, company services, Hiretop.

On the supplier side, shops receive pre‑packaged work orders (materials, sequence, QA checkpoints) so they can execute higher‑complexity work more predictably, while feeding back photo traceability and status updates. Jeevy enforces QA and documentation throughout; some additional AI tools (like part recognition/finder) are in early or beta stages and rolling out over time Hiretop, YC profile, American Bazaar.

Who are their target customer(s)

• Design or mechanical engineers needing custom welded assemblies: They lose time turning drawings into accurate BOMs and realistic schedules, and face unpredictable lead times and quality when coordinating multiple shops.
• Procurement or operations managers sourcing fabrication work: They struggle to compare bids, delivery dates, and QA documentation across local weld shops, making sourcing slow and error‑prone.
• Project managers and general contractors on multi‑part builds: Projects slip when handoffs lack clear work packages, sequencing, and traceability, which creates rework and delays downstream installations.
• Owners/managers of small‑to‑mid sized weld shops: They avoid higher‑complexity jobs because bidding and engineering prep are time‑consuming and inconsistent, and they need steady, well‑scoped work they can execute reliably.
• QA and compliance engineers in regulated industries: They spend excessive effort gathering test records, photos, and traceability from shops and worry about meeting audit or certification requirements consistently.

How would they acquire their first 10, 50, and 100 customers

• First 10: Run hands‑on pilots with engineers and procurement teams who already have complex welded assemblies; Jeevy takes drawings → BOM → packaged work order, manages shop execution, and delivers with full QA and schedule updates, using YC/founder inbound and targeted outreach to assemble each job team YC profile, company services, Hiretop.
• First 50: Do sectorized outbound (e.g., data centers, pressure systems) and convert pilot wins into multi‑project contracts using early case studies; add partnerships with EPCs/GCs and a shop referral program to increase job flow without proportional engineering headcount Hiretop, Monte Carlo Capital.
• First 100: Productize common workflows with a semi‑self‑serve quoting flow and CAD uploads for faster, standardized price/schedule responses; formalize shop onboarding and QA/traceability automation so new shops meet delivery and documentation standards at higher volumes American Bazaar, company services.

What is the rough total addressable market

Top-down context:

Broader context: fabricated metals output in the U.S. is on the order of ~$394B in 2025, which is far larger than Jeevy’s addressable niche Statista. A closer proxy is welding services: estimates put the global welding services market at about $18.4B in 2024, implying a U.S. share in the mid‑single‑digit billions Verified Market Research.

Bottom-up calculation:

Assume ~5,000 recurring U.S. buyers (industrial OEMs, EPCs/GCs, energy/data center contractors, aerospace) that purchase complex welded assemblies annually, with $0.5–1.5M average yearly spend on high‑spec, traceable fabrication. That yields a U.S. TAM of roughly $2.5–7.5B for the segment Jeevy targets.

Assumptions:

• Focus is on high‑spec, QA‑heavy welded assemblies (not commodity repair or light fab), which is a subset of overall welding services.
• U.S. represents ~25–35% of global welding services by spend.
• Average annual spend per recurring buyer on complex welded assemblies is ~$0.5–1.5M.

Who are some of their notable competitors

• Xometry: On‑demand manufacturing marketplace for CNC, sheet metal, and more; offers assemblies and some welding via a partner network. Competes as a self‑serve alternative to source parts without a managed EPC layer.
• Zetwerk: Global manufacturing network for custom fabricated parts and weldments with managed operations and QA. Overlaps on networked sourcing of complex metal assemblies.
• Fractory: Marketplace for sheet metal, tube/laser cutting, and welded assemblies with online quoting and delivery. Competes on fast procurement of fabricated parts, primarily in EU with growing U.S. presence.
• Fictiv: Network‑based manufacturing service emphasizing QA and DFMA for CNC and injection molding; less focused on heavy welded assemblies but substitutes for adjacent components and assemblies.
• Paperless Parts: Quoting and workflow software for job shops. Not a contractor, but competes on the supplier‑enablement/software layer Jeevy provides to shops.
