PHILADELPHIA, PA — Y Capital announced its official launch last week alongside a $15 million expansion capital investment in Dextall, a New York City–based company using artificial intelligence to transform how building envelopes are designed, delivered, and installed.
The investment will support the continued development of Dextall Studio, the company’s proprietary AI-powered façade design platform, and fund its national expansion. Dextall integrates AI into every stage of the building envelope process, from early planning through installation, aiming to reduce costs and streamline timelines. The company reports its technology can cut design-to-installation schedules by up to 80%, lower onsite labor requirements by 87%, and decrease operational energy costs by 20%.
Dextall currently manages a $110 million project backlog, with about 90% linked to affordable housing projects. Later this year, the company plans to debut its first project featuring solar-integrated façades, positioning its platform at the intersection of performance, sustainability, and cost efficiency.
“I founded Y Capital to partner with businesses that are already demonstrating traction and are prepared to scale through the thoughtful application of technology,” said Eric Vest, founder and managing partner of Y Capital. “Dextall is one of the most compelling opportunities we have seen. Its cost and time savings are measurable, the product is tested in the field, and the market pull is undeniable.”
Beyond funding, Y Capital provides hands-on operational expertise and leverages its proprietary capital intelligence platform, Yellowwood, which is already being used by Dextall’s leadership team and board. The platform offers data-driven insights to support financial planning, growth modeling, and strategic decision-making. As part of the deal, Vest has joined Dextall’s board of directors.
“With Y Capital’s support, we are scaling Dextall Studio and expanding into new markets with a platform that brings real-world gains to developers, architects, and contractors, especially in affordable housing,” said Aurimas Sabulis, CEO of Dextall.
Y Capital plans to formally launch its first fund in Q1 2026, targeting both control and minority investments in profitable lower middle-market companies with annual revenues between $20 million and $100 million. The firm will focus on sectors including Industrials, Life Sciences, and Digital Infrastructure, where technology adoption can deliver meaningful operational and shareholder value.
