hybrid -- contractor/construction-PM modules are custom-quoted per feature module; the separate software-vendor/API tier publishes a-la-carte add-on prices Run the Practice

API integration and financial-operations platform for construction contractors -- syncs field/project data from Procore, Autodesk Build, and similar platforms with accounting/ERP systems (QuickBooks, Sage, Viewpoint, CMiC), plus AP invoice automation, expense coding, and job-cost reporting. Formerly branded "Agave API" at agaveapi.com, which now redirects here; led its $3M seed round with Y Combinator and Accel, joined by angel investors who are founders of Plaid, PlanGrid, EquipmentShare, Fieldwire, and Honest Buildings, per the company's own seed-round announcement (useagave.com/blog/announcing-our-seed-round).
