News of the Day

ConstructionClock has raised a $1.6-million seed round as Winnipeg contractor-turned-founder David Peters scales his automated labour-tracking app from a scrappy local build to a fast-growing North American construction-tech platform. Peters, who spent nearly two decades running a subcontracting business, created ConstructionClock to eliminate the inaccurate, end-of-shift time logs that were eating his margins, using geolocation to clock workers in and out automatically; the company now serves 3,000 businesses across 23 countries and is adding roughly 10 new customers a day, with 80 percent of its users in the U.S. Despite Winnipeg’s sparse venture ecosystem, Peters pieced together early support through Manitoba’s Small Business Venture Capital Tax Credit, a $1.2-million pre-seed and persistent investor outreach, ultimately narrowing an oversubscribed round to Trillick Ventures, M25 and a major local super-angel. With the new capital, ConstructionClock plans to triple its customer base by 2026, expand its 25-person team with 10 more sales hires and launch payroll—including earned-wage access for tradespeople—in select U.S. states next year, a step Peters calls the “natural progression” of the platform.
