The construction industry has always been a paradox. On one hand, it builds the skylines, highways, and stadiums we marvel at. On the other, it’s been buried under clipboards, text threads, and photos scattered across three different phones. Contractors know the pain, time lost, jobs slowed, mistakes that could have been avoided. That’s the world Luke Hansen walked out of when he founded CompanyCam in 2015, taking his lessons from White Castle Roofing and turning frustration into fuel. What started as a simple photo-sharing tool for a family business has become the AI-powered operating system for jobsites across America.
CompanyCam’s growth has been anything but quiet. With revenue hitting $68 million in 2024, up 112.6 percent year-over-year, and a customer base of tens of thousands of contractors, it’s clear the company has become essential infrastructure for fieldwork. The numbers tell a story, but what matters more is how the product has rewired how crews work. Photos taken on-site organize themselves by time, date, and GPS coordinates. Notes don’t get lost in the shuffle. AI steps in not as a gimmick but as the foreman who never sleeps, tagging, detecting, and flagging what humans might miss. And all of it happens in real time, across languages, across teams, across geographies.
That kind of traction doesn’t go unnoticed. This week, CompanyCam announced a Series C strategic growth investment led by B Capital, now the company’s largest external investor, with Decades Holdings joining the round. They stand alongside Insight Partners, JMI Equity, Blueprint Equity, Nelnet, Invest Nebraska, and WndrCo, investors who have believed in the vision since the early days. The funding number isn’t disclosed, but the implications are clear: this isn’t a bridge check to keep the lights on. It’s fuel for expansion, for doubling down on AI, for embedding intelligence into every contractor’s daily grind.
Credit here belongs to more than capital. It belongs to the leadership team. Luke Hansen still drives the vision. Chad Wilken, the founding engineer turned CTO, keeps the technical backbone solid. Levi Nelson as COO, Tullen Mabbutt as CFO, and the team of 255 employees across the U.S. are proving that Lincoln, Nebraska isn’t just home to football Saturdays but also to one of the fastest-scaling ConTech companies in the country.
The strategy is as bold as the execution. CompanyCam plans to deepen integrations with platforms like Procore, Jobber, Salesforce, and DroneDeploy, making sure contractors don’t just adopt another app but connect to an ecosystem. AI modules for predictive maintenance and quality assurance are on the horizon. Advanced analytics dashboards and BI tools are in development. The goal is ambitious yet precise: to become the category-defining, AI-first operating system for contractors worldwide.
Construction is a trillion-dollar industry in the U.S. alone. It’s massive, messy, and ripe for transformation. CompanyCam isn’t just documenting job sites anymore, it’s documenting a shift in how an industry works. That’s why this investment matters. It’s not about raising money. It’s about raising the standard.
