There’s a rhythm in construction that only the people holding the invoices can hear. It’s the hum of subcontractors fronting cash for materials while waiting 100+ days to get paid. That rhythm doesn’t just kill momentum, it strangles growth. Billd heard it, understood it, and built a solution that finally speaks the same financial language as the people actually building the world around us.
Founded in 2018 by Christopher Doyle and Jesse Weissburg, Billd isn’t another fintech trying to “disrupt.” It’s a construction-born financial platform that fixes the broken payment cycle that’s defined the industry for decades. Based in Austin, TX, Billd gives subcontractors the working capital flexibility they’ve been denied for too long, turning 120-day waits into real-time opportunity.
Billd locked in a $7.3M strategic funding round led by MissionOG, joined by existing investors HighSage Ventures and RJT Credit. MissionOG’s managing partner Andy Newcomb called out Billd’s “scalable solutions with meaningful industry impact.” Translation: the fintech pros see what everyone else in the game already knows, Billd isn’t a niche player; it’s infrastructure-level innovation.
The company’s toolkit is built for the way construction really moves. Material Financing extends payment terms up to 120 days. Pay App Advances free up cash flow faster than a Friday payout. And Predictable Pay, launched in Sept 2025, delivers what its name promises, reliable, fast pay cycles that cut anxiety out of the equation. For subcontractors, predictability isn’t a perk, it’s survival.
Behind the tech is a leadership crew built for scale. Christopher Doyle serves as CEO & President, steering a vision born on job sites, not in boardrooms. Jesse Weissburg, Co-Founder & CCO, drives commercial growth with a focus on the real players in the field. They’re joined by CFO Paul Williams (who’s raised over $5B in capital), CMO Allison Dancy (20+ yrs shaping Fortune 500 brands), CCO Brad Cooper (formerly Procore), and CRO Burak Gunes, who keeps the engine running clean.
Billd’s got heavyweight backing too. LL Funds’ partner Shivraj “Raj” Mundy serves as Exec Chairman, bringing 20+ yrs of JP Morgan & HSBC experience to the table. With $351.5M total funding, including a $144M facility from Atlas SP Partners, Billd’s not just raising rounds, it’s building runway.
In a $1.5T industry that moves slow by design, Billd’s speed is its advantage. When others lend on collateral, Billd lends on confidence, patented tech that evaluates project risk, not credit history. It’s fintech with a hard hat, leveling the field for subcontractors who’ve carried the load for too long.
