About the role
TL;DR
Own platform architecture and set technical standards for a construction tech startup.
- •About Bobyard Construction is a multi-trillion-dollar industry that still estimates by hand.
- •Contractors measure and count materials off drawings manually, and it caps how many jobs they can bid.
- •Bobyard uses computer vision and NLP to automate takeoffs and estimates, so contractors bid faster and win more.
- •We raised a $35M Series A led by 8VC, with Primary and Pear, and we're growing fast.
