From the Desk of the CEO: Trayd Raises a $10M Series A

Today is a big day.

I'm proud to announce Trayd's $10M Series A led by White Star Capital, with continued support from Suffolk Technologies and Y Combinator, and a new partnership with RXR. 

This funding allows us to scale what we’ve been building for the last 3.5 years: a modern back office platform for specialty contractors. 

I grew up watching my dad handle the manual, repetitive chaos of the construction back office. Fast forward 20+ years, not much has changed for a $2T industry. 

That’s the problem we set out to solve.

Today, Trayd powers payroll, compliance, and workforce management for specialty contractors - replacing spreadsheets, paper time cards, and fragmented systems with a single platform built specifically for construction teams. 

And it's working:

• Payroll that used to take 14 hours a week now takes 27 minutes

• Crews are moving off paper time cards once and for all

• Back office teams are taking their first real vacations in years

With this new capital we can go bigger: expand nationally, keep building for our customers, and deliver the level of service this industry deserves.

To our investors, thank you for seeing the vision and fueling it.

To the growing Trayd team, thank you for showing up every day and building this platform with such heart and intention.

To Cara, my co-founder and forever best friend, thank you for taking the leap with me. What a ride.

And to our customers, thank you for trusting us, pushing us, and shaping the product into what it is today. You make us better every single day.

If you're a specialty contractor still running payroll across spreadsheets, paper, or legacy systems, we'd love to show you what modern back office operations can look like.
