About Bobyard
Construction is a trillion dollar industry that still runs on manual work. Contractors measure and count materials off drawings by hand, and it takes forever. Bobyard uses AI to automate takeoffs and estimates so bids get done 10x faster. We're Series A, backed by 8VC, Primary, and Pear, and revenue is doubling quarter over quarter.
