A few degrees can change everything.
Without temperatures precisely held between 68 and 73°F, surgeons can’t safely perform life-saving organ transplants—every degree off the mark risks a patient’s life. Just a slight shift in refrigeration transforms fresh strawberries into moldy mush, turns milk sour overnight, or spoils thousands of vaccine doses before they reach patients. And as AI and cloud computing power our daily lives, even a brief cooling outage at a data center can erase millions of transactions, silence navigation apps mid-route, or grind critical financial markets to a halt.
But it goes beyond temperature. It’s the comforting glow of office buildings illuminating cities after dark, elevators reliably whisking people between floors, or emergency generators ensuring ventilators don’t miss a breath during storms. It’s factories running seamlessly through every shift, water pumps quietly delivering clean water to millions, and airports safely guiding planes through stormy skies. Behind every seemingly effortless convenience is an invisible workforce: commercial contractors who tirelessly manage complexity behind the scenes.
They don’t ask for headlines. They don’t expect applause. But without them, everything stops.
Yet, they’re often stuck with tools that slow them down—patched-together workflows, endless spreadsheets, and software built for residential contractors. Instead of simplifying their work, these tools make it harder.
They deserve better.
The commercial contracting industry powers our economy, generating nearly $300 billion annually and employing hundreds of thousands of skilled workers—electricians, HVAC specialists, technicians, and countless others who keep our world moving. Yet, despite their crucial role, these professionals have largely been left behind by the tech revolution.
Today, studies reveal a stark truth: tradespeople spend only about 30% of their workday actually building, repairing, or installing. The remaining hours vanish into paperwork, chasing down missing parts, waiting for approvals, or deciphering outdated instructions scribbled on clipboards. Each minute wasted represents delayed repairs at a hospital, slowed assembly lines in factories, or idle workers watching the clock tick instead of doing what they do best.
We knew something had to change.
We didn’t take shortcuts by retrofitting residential software and labeling it "commercial." Instead, we created a powerful, AI-driven platform from the ground up—tailored specifically for commercial contractors. It's a platform that effortlessly connects technicians in the field, dispatchers juggling schedules, and managers overseeing complex operations. It eliminates the endless busywork, replacing chaos with clarity, confusion with confidence, and frustration with efficiency—so contractors can focus on their real mission: keeping the world running.
Today, we’re proud to announce BuildOps has raised $127 million in Series C funding, led by Meritech Capital Partners with participation from BOND and SE Ventures.
This brings our valuation to $1 billion, making us the largest and most influential commercial contractor platform in the world.
This isn’t just funding—it’s proof commercial contractors finally have a seat at the table.
It’s recognition for the contractors who show up every day—in every crisis, in every type of weather—to keep hospitals running, grocery stores stocked, and data centers online. It’s proof that they finally have technology built specifically for them.
This investment is our promise to deliver tools that contractors truly deserve—tools that help them run their operations smoothly, increase their profits, and set a new standard for the entire industry.
With this investment, we’re rapidly expanding our platform, introducing AI-powered scheduling, predictive maintenance, and live project tracking. These aren’t just tools to catch up—they’re the tools every contractor needs to get ahead.
The days of settling for software that wasn’t built for commercial work are over. The future belongs to the companies powered by BuildOps.
And we’re just getting started.
