Two 24-Year-Old Women Raise $1.7M For Tech To Streamline Construction Projects
Summary
When Mallorie Brodie and Lauren Lake were college students at Canadas Western University, theyd get up early and go "crane hunting," as they called it, around southwestern Ontario. Bridgits web and mobile platform acts as a digital "punch list," to use the industry term for a document tracking incomplete or incorrect tasks on a construction project. Since its 2014 launch, Bridgit has signed up more than 100 contractors, including large companies in U.S. markets like Miami, with its constant condominium development, and Seattle, where Compass Construction uses it on 18 active projects. While Brodie and Lake have no plans to leave Canadas tech hub of Kitchener-Waterloo, they said theyll use part of the funding to acquire more U.S. customers, as well as adding engineers and salespeople to their team of 17. Still, she cant remember any contractors on job sites reacting with particular shock at two 20-year-old women jumping out of a pick-up truck when she and Lake went "crane hunting" in the early days.
