The investment deepens Skillit’s partnership with two of the construction industry’s largest builders, who will serve as national-scale design partners, as the company continues building the AI infrastructure layer for craft hiring. Skillit has built the nation’s largest network of vetted craft workers and is increasingly being adopted by leading builders across the U.S. This partnership will support continued growth of Skillit’s worker network, workflows, data, automation capabilities, and executive team, ensuring it is well-positioned to execute at its next stage of scale as the company moves toward onboarding the next wave of workers and becoming the construction industry’s default craft and field labor infrastructure platform.
