We’re thrilled to announce our investment in Trestle alongside Lerer Hippeau, MetaProp, Alumni Ventures, The LegalTech Fund, Redbud VC, and Meridian Ventures (talk about a party!).
We first met co-founder & CEO Victor Zhang in an unusual way: he sent us a cold pitch submission. Standing out in a sea of inbound messages is no easy feat, but his relevant background and clear value proposition were impossible to ignore.
Trestle is the construction industry’s only subcontractor and supplier data centralization and performance management solution. By creating a centralized platform that seamlessly collects and connects key subcontractor and supplier information from internal and external systems, Trestle empowers contractors to choose the right partners, improve project transparency, share real-time feedback about third-party performance on projects, and mitigate risk before it impacts their bottom line.
Prior to Trestle, Victor spent 15 years in the heavy construction industry. He led large estimating and procurement teams on landmark projects nationwide, including a $3.8 billion construction project, the largest in Virginia’s history. Co-founder & CTO Jason Chen designed and developed countless web and application experiences as a software engineer and team lead. Joining forces at Trestle, they are providing modern software solutions for construction, specifically in areas that are deeply complex and often misunderstood by outsiders without direct experience.
