The Story
For over 15 years, I ran a commercial glazing subcontracting company. We did good work. We showed up on time. We delivered quality results.
And yet, I was constantly chasing payments. General contractors would "lose" invoices. Payment promises would slip from 30 days to 60 to 90. I'd be pulled away from managing my crew to babysit cash flow. And when it came time to bid on new work, I had no data — just gut feel and outdated spreadsheets.
The worst part? I watched talented subcontractors go out of business, not because they couldn't do the work, but because they couldn't survive the broken business tools and payment culture around them.
"I knew there had to be a better way. So I stopped waiting for someone else to build it and started building it myself."
I started learning AI, talking to hundreds of subs across different trades, and building tools that solved the problems I actually lived. The result is Subcontractors.ai — a platform built by someone who knows exactly how hard it is to run a subcontracting company.
