What is Trayd?
US Construction is a $1.4T industry ridden with crappy software and manual processes.

Trayd is a construction back office operating system specializing in Payroll, HR, and Compliance for the trades. Trayd has a unique spin on traditional payroll and tedious everyday tasks, using automation to eliminate over 100 hours a month of paper pushing and data reconciliation across siloed platforms.

Trayd has grown 300% year over year with $5M+ of deals in the pipeline. With clear product-market fit, we are scaling the team to actualize the climbing demand. Trayd has raised $4.5M from world-class investors like Suffolk Technologies, Bloomberg Beta, and Y Combinator.
