Nick Donahue shut down his $20M-funded custom home design startup Atmos after it became too operationally complex and interest rate hikes killed client demand. He's now launched Drafted, an AI-powered platform that generates residential floor plans and exterior designs in minutes for $1,000-$2,000, using a specialized model trained on real house plans. The company raised $1.65M at a $35M valuation and has 1,000 daily users, aiming to make custom home design accessible to everyone rather than just the 300,000 annual custom homes built in the US.
