FlowManual
FlowManual is an AI platform for the back office of construction contractors. It reads specs, contracts, quotes, and invoices and automatically marks up scope, prices, deadlines, and exclusions, then compares bids against signed contracts and invoices against locked buyout prices to flag every scope change and price drift by severity and dollar impact. Founded in 2026 by Harvard dropouts David Shijoon Bae and Michael Lin, the company is part of Y Combinator's Summer 2026 batch and aims to cut the repetitive manual work of pre-construction so contractors can bid more and deliver at a higher standard.
Downstream
Downstream is a Dallas-based online marketplace that lets construction contractors rent equipment, book waste hauling, and order jobsite services - dumpsters, porta potties, scissor lifts, forklifts, fencing, mobile offices - from a nationwide network of vetted suppliers. The platform delivers real-time pricing, multiple competing quotes per job, consolidated billing, Net 30 payment terms, and AI agents that read a contractor's rollout sheets or invoices to procure automatically. Founded in 2022 (originally as Trash Gurus), the company raised an $8M Series A in November 2025 co-led by Brick & Mortar Ventures and Moneta Ventures.
