engineering manager

Our Pitch:
At Edgevanta, we make software that helps contractors win more work at the right price with the least hassle. Our intuitive, web-based bidding and backlog management platform is built to give our customers the information they need to improve their profitability.

A little more on Edgevanta:
Our co-founder and CEO, Tristan Wilson, is a 4th generation contractor who carries a legacy of his family's former business, Barriere Construction, based in South Louisiana. He spent most of his career bidding and managing highway construction projects, realizing that the key to winning contracts lies not just in calculating one's costs but in considering many other important factors like historical bidding data, intelligence about competitors, and resource availability.

Our software automates the painfully manual process of collecting bidding data, pricing trends, backlog management, and resource allocation for construction companies. Since launching our first product in 2022, we have quickly grown to earn the business of some of the country's premier paving and infrastructure contractors with a small team. Our ARR grew 80% in the first three months of 2024, and we’re just getting started.

Before Edgevanta, contractors used spreadsheets or siloed, legacy systems to manage their bidding process and backlogs. Edgevanta syncs with ERP’s, estimating programs, and public agency websites in 1 centralized data and analytics platform. We give contractors back time in their day. Our core values are results, curiosity, fixing customer problems, candor, and doing good.
