About

Construction materials move on calls, texts and paper tickets, and Tread's argument is that this is a software problem worth billions. The platform unifies the order, the dispatch, the scale ticket and the invoice, and sells to bulk haulers, material producers and contractors — customers its own blog names include CRH, Cemex, Martin Marietta and Tomlinson. Founder Noah Dolgoy took it through Creative Destruction Lab's 2016/17 Prime stream and a Series A led by Crosslink Capital that closed in November 2019; he told the TechTO stage three months later that the team had gone from 17 people to 34. He handed the CEO seat to Sameer in late 2022 and became executive chairman.
