Account Executive - Private Equity

About Bobyard

Construction and landscaping are undergoing a massive transformation. For decades, contractors have measured and counted materials off blueprints and drawings by hand—a manual takeoff process that creates operational drag and severely limits growth. At Bobyard, we leverage cutting-edge AI to automate takeoffs, power estimating workflows, and transform how commercial enterprise teams bid and win business—enabling them to bid 10x faster and maximize contract value. We are Series A backed by top-tier investors (8VC, Primary, Pear), rapidly scaling, and building the future of AI-driven preconstruction and estimating automation.
