# Jon Sibley

> Jon Sibley is the Founder and CEO of TrueBuilt Software, an AI-native preconstruction platform headquartered in Huntington Beach, California. A former NCAA Division I water polo player at UC Berkeley and Team USA competitor, Sibley translated elite-sport discipline into enterprise software sales at Quid and Visa before founding TrueBuilt in July 2022. The company raised a $4 million seed round in 2023 led by Bienville Capital with participation from Fifth Wall, and in late 2025 acquired Capabuild — a mobile field documentation platform — driving a 124% revenue increase in three months post-close. TrueBuilt consolidates what was once a fragmented 6-8 tool preconstruction workflow into a single AI-powered platform serving general contractors and subcontractors.
