Pegbo
Pegbo is a Menlo Park construction-technology startup that gives preconstruction teams AI coworkers to source, engage, and vet trade partners. Its platform searches a database of more than one million verified subcontractors and suppliers - filterable by scope, location, NAICS code, union status, and certifications like MBE, DBE, and WBE - then automates outreach, bid-coverage tracking, document collection, and compliance so general contractors and project owners can hit supplier-diversity goals faster and with less busywork.

Amar Amte is the founder and CEO of Pegbo, a Menlo Park construction-tech company that helps general contractors and public agencies find, vet, and track small, local, and diverse trade partners. After roughly a decade at Google and five years at Yahoo in engineering and program-management roles, he left big tech in 2023 to attack one of construction's oldest headaches: the 'spray and pray' bid invitation. Pegbo runs a searchable directory of more than a million verified trade partners and automates outreach, bid coverage, and Good Faith Effort compliance reporting. The company raised $1.4 million in a 2024 pre-seed round led by Nirman Ventures and is a pre-qualified supplier to contractors including Skanska, Webcor, Swinerton, and Hathaway Dinwiddie.
