Boise Cascade Company
Boise Cascade makes the beams and panels that hold buildings up - then uses one of America's largest wholesale networks to move them. That quiet loop produced $6.4 billion in 2025 sales and a revealing view of what happens before a house becomes a home.
Ferguson
Ferguson built a $31 billion business around a stubbornly physical promise: when a contractor needs the right valve, fitting or air handler, the answer cannot arrive next week. Its real product is certainty - inventory, expertise and last-mile execution wrapped around more than a million parts.
Parspec
Parspec is an AI-native software platform that automates product selection, quoting, and submittal preparation for distributors and sales agents in the construction supply chain. Founded in 2021 by Stanford researchers Forest Flager and Pratyush Havelia, the company indexes millions of manufacturer product documents and turns hours of manual paperwork into minutes. It has raised $31.5M to date and counts four of the five largest U.S. electrical distributors among its customers.
