BuildOps, an all-in-one platform exclusively for modern commercial contractors, announced that it has raised $127 million in Series C funding led by Meritech Capital Partners. This advances the company to unicorn status with a valuation of $1 billion.
This funding round also includes new participation from BOND and SE Ventures, the venture capital firm backed by Schneider Electric. It is joined by BuildOps’ existing investors, including Fika Ventures, Next47, StepStone Group, and Titanium Ventures. And BuildOps is also backed by notable investors 01A, Founders Fund, B Capital, MetaProp, 137 Ventures, and Liquid2. Meritech partner Paul Madera will join BuildOps’ board along with other highly acclaimed members: former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, Fika Founder TX Zhuo, former Boost Mobile CEO Stephen Stokols, and Next47 General Partner Matthew Cowan.
The latest funding round accelerates BuildOps’ deployment of cutting-edge AI technology, including predictive analytics that identify maintenance needs before they become costly, AI-based scheduling, and real-time project tracking. This next-gen tech doesn’t just automate; it positions contractors to predict, plan, and profit in ways previously impossible.
Industry giants such as J.H. Kelly, Haynes Mechanical, Baker Electric, Crete United, Modigent, Kelso, and Service Logic are utilizing BuildOps to achieve incredible efficiency gains, cut administrative overhead, speed invoicing, and maximize technician productivity.
BuildOps collaborates with contractors across the U.S. and Canada, providing a strategic advantage that drives real growth and profitability. And as major industry players increasingly adopt the platform, BuildOps is becoming the definitive technology partner for commercial contracting businesses prepared to lead their markets.
KEY QUOTES:
“We’ve spent years watching commercial contractors- the guys who keep our lights on and pipes flowing-get crushed by chaos they don’t deserve. BuildOps is the first enterprise software solution we’ve seen that actually gets it and fills an industry-wide need: a platform that doesn’t just patch holes; it facilitates control and management of workflow from the shop floor to the job site. We’re leading this round because these folks build our world, and BuildOps is hell-bent on making these businesses more efficient, effective and productive – this is a very large market that is wide open for BuildOps.”
– Paul Madera, former fighter pilot and founding partner at Meritech Capital Partners

“We are excited for the BuildOps team on their latest round of funding, which will allow them to continue fueling innovative developments of the platform. We look forward to seeing the additional functionalities and growing our partnership with BuildOps.”
– Jason Richardson, CEO of Service Logic
“I talk to contractors every day-HVAC pros, plumbers, electricians-and they’re busting their backs keeping our world running, but the deck’s stacked against them with staffing shortages, skyrocketing costs, and tech that is stuck in the Stone Age. It fires me up because they deserve better-tools that don’t just keep up but actually let them run circles around the chaos. That’s what we’re building at BuildOps: a way for them to take charge, grow without breaking, and deliver like the heroes they are.”
– Alok Chanani, CEO of BuildOps
