Kind Designs raises $10M to 3D print living seawalls

A Miami startup just banked $10 million to print coastlines

Kind Designs, a Miami company that 3D prints concrete seawalls, has closed an oversubscribed $10 million Pre-Series A round at a $70 million valuation. The money more than doubles the $5 million the company first set out to raise. Investor demand pushed the round past its target before it closed.

The product is the Living Seawall. Instead of a flat concrete slab, Kind Designs prints a textured wall with nooks and ledges that mimic natural shorelines. Marine life moves in. The company says these walls protect property while giving fish, crabs, and oysters somewhere to live.

Why this matters

Coastal erosion is a problem with a long tail. Traditional seawalls work, but they are dead structures that do nothing for the ecosystem around them. Kind Designs is selling the promise that you can defend a shoreline and rebuild habitat at the same time.

The round shows that investors see climate resilience as a real market, not a charity case. Kind Designs reports $10 million in contracted revenue this year, a tenfold jump over 2025. That is the kind of growth that turns a pilot project into a category.

More than seawalls

The platform now stretches beyond the walls themselves. Living Seawall Tiles, 3D printed artificial reefs, and Living Shorelines are all part of the lineup, aimed at commercial, municipal, and defense work. The company frames the seawall industry as a multi-hundred-billion-dollar market that has not seen a real technology shift in decades.

For homeowners worried about rising water, the pitch is simple. Print a wall that holds back the sea and feeds the bay at the same time. Whether that scales as cleanly as the pitch suggests is the question the new funding is meant to answer.
