BuildersCloud, a US-based company that provides file-sharing and mobile collaboration for construction professionals, has raised more than $1m in a seed funding round led by Dave McClure, of 500 Startups, and Rudy Gadre, former executive at Facebook and Amazon; other investors include Denny Hill Capital, TEC Ventures, TA Venture, Linden Rhoads, Sujal Patel, and construction company McKinstry. The seed funding round is the result of a six month campaign.
Doug Moore, president of Seattle-based McKinstry, a construction and retrofit firm, said: “BuildersCloud is a great application to help project teams be more organized and efficient.”
Andrey Nokhrin, chief executive officer of BuildersCloud, said: “We have the top minds in Seattle and Silicon Valley helping us to get to the next level. They are investing in our team, our vision, and our execution. Now that so many construction workers are carrying smartphones and tablets, empowering teams with the right mobile tools will be very powerful.”
BuildersCloud was founded in June 2012.
