Adaptive is a New York-based fintech building an AI-native financial platform for the construction industry. It sits on top of QuickBooks to automate the money side of building projects - reading incoming bills, matching them to the right job and cost code, routing approvals, tracking budgets and draws, managing vendor compliance, and processing payments. Founded in 2021 by Matt Calvano, Henry Bradlow, and Francisco Enriquez, the company serves custom homebuilders, general contractors, developers, and specialty trades, and raised a $19M Series A led by Emergence Capital in 2024.
Moab
Moab is a New York-based software company building a modern, AI-native operating system for equipment rental and dealership businesses. It replaces decades-old legacy ERP systems with a single platform spanning inventory, orders and billing, service and repairs, dispatch, and accounting - targeting the roughly $2 trillion construction economy that still runs on on-premise software. Founded by Charles Soll (ex-Uber) and Patrick Anderson (ex-Ramp), Moab launched from stealth in February 2026 with $16M raised across Seed and Series A rounds led by Elad Gil, with Ironspring Ventures.

Founded in 2019, Siteline says it has tracked more than $14 billion in receivables across 250,000+ projects and helps customers bill roughly 6x faster.

Dill
Dill is a San Francisco fintech, founded in 2022 and backed by Y Combinator (W23), that helps construction wholesalers, distributors, and suppliers get paid faster. Its software digitizes the paper-heavy back office of the building-materials trade - online credit applications, accounts-receivable automation, white-labeled payment portals, and lien-rights tracking - and plugs into distribution ERPs like Epicor Prophet 21 and Eclipse. The pitch is simple: suppliers spend less time chasing invoices and more time selling.
Catherine Jiang
Catherine Jiang is the founder and CEO of Dill, a Y Combinator-backed (W23) software company that helps construction suppliers automate accounts receivable, online payments, credit applications, and lien rights management to get paid faster. A second-time founder, she previously co-founded SiteTrace (acquired by BuildCentrix) and was a product manager at Yelp. She holds a B.S. in Symbolic Systems from Stanford. Dill launched in 2023 serving foodservice distributors and later refocused on the construction supply chain, where late payments and paper-based invoicing choke cash flow.
Yaser Masoudnia
Yaser Masoudnia is the co-founder and CEO of BlueTape, a fintech company that gives the construction industry's suppliers, contractors and distributors the payment tools and working capital they have long been denied. A serial entrepreneur and a licensed general contractor with over a decade swinging a hammer, he previously built and exited the cybersecurity startup NoPassword (acquired by LogMeIn), then ran the LastPass product team. He started coding games on a Commodore 64 at 13 in Iran and now splits his identity between two worlds most people keep apart: software and construction sites.
BlueTape
BlueTape is a payments and financing platform built for the construction industry. It gives material suppliers, manufacturers, dealers and contractors the tools larger firms take for granted - trade credit, net terms up to 120 days, buy-now-pay-later for building materials, automated accounts receivable, factoring, early-payment programs and lines of credit. The goal is simple: help small and midsize construction businesses get paid faster, sell more, and finance the materials they need without the paperwork and cash-flow crunch that has long defined the trade.
