I’m thrilled to share that we’ve raised USD $3.2 million to accelerate our mission to build the AI-native operating system for construction. The round is led by White Star Capital with participation from One Way Ventures, Desjardins Capital, asterX, and Formentera Capital.

This milestone is more than a funding round. It’s the closing of one chapter and the bold beginning of another. To truly understand where we're going, it's important to look back at where we started.

Finding product-market fit

In 2025, we hit profitability for the first time. That moment changed everything. For the first time, we felt the pull of genuine product-market fit. We weren't chasing customers anymore; they were chasing us.

The opportunity ahead

Billdr is becoming the centralized brain of construction, helping SMB GCs manage every aspect of their back office with clarity, speed, and intelligence. There are 1.4M SMB GCs in North America, delivering $1T+ in construction projects annually across residential and commercial.

Yet 75% of SMB GCs still rely on spreadsheets and WhatsApp to run multimillion-dollar operations — we’re seeing a large opportunity to unlock productivity. We aim to make GC businesses more profitable by lowering the cost of handling paperwork, and by building tools that help GCs spend less time on admin and more time acquiring and serving customers.
