The company is in a scale-up stage, growing 15% to 25% per year and expanding into the United States, with Europe and Australia on the roadmap. They provide construction prequalification software. Their platform replaces slow, manual, inconsistent prequalification processes with a single standardized national form and a proprietary risk rating that general contractors use to assess and qualify the trades working on their sites. General contractors adopt the platform and then require their subcontractors to prequalify through it. General contractor clients include EllisDon, PCL, Ledcor, Structure Tone, Gilbane, and Coastal. The executive team runs an open-door policy, gives employees a high degree of autonomy and ownership over their work, leads by example, and coaches rather than directs.

This role owns the subcontractor side of the business; a separate team and separate Senior Vice President own the general contractor side. Company size ranges from small trades through large trade contractors, with larger subcontractors carrying more revenue value. Customers are located across Canada and the United States, with concentration in Ontario Primary decision-makers: controllers and accounting leadership, VP and Director-level management, and owners or C-suite. Expect approximately three influencers per decision. The buying trigger is compliance. A general contractor adopts the platform and requires its trades to prequalify through it, so the subcontractor cannot win work on that site without subscribing. Subcontractors have historically not paid for prequalification, so a core part of the sale is converting a mandated requirement into something the subcontractor sees value in.
