Clad (Founding)

Founding Year: 2023
Company Description: Clad is construction management software for telecom companies. We help telcos like Comcast or Sonic find, manage, and pay their construction subcontractors when doing things like laying fiber or building a cell tower. Telco construction is a massive, $86B per year industry that still runs on spreadsheets and phone calls. Clad's wedge product will modernize contractor management, but we're not stopping there. We'll build a data moat that will power the industry’s spend, an over $3B opportunity. Clad's ultimate goal - expand beyond internet to power all infrastructure construction, so the backbone of our world gets built faster.
