We started with construction because it’s the biggest pain point and, in our view, the hardest labor coordination problem in the physical economy. Every project is unique, the work is hyper-local, skills are super granular, contextual, and learned over time. Teams form and dissolve, tribal knowledge is lost at the end of every job and the consequences of getting it wrong include delays, cost overruns, safety risks, and failed outcomes.

So our thesis is if you can solve labor access, routing, and formation in construction, you earn a foundational superpower and opportunity to fix the same problems that exist everywhere physical work is done including manufacturing, energy, defense, logistics, advanced facilities, infrastructure and even space.

These sectors may use different tools and produce different outputs but they all share the same underlying failure modes:

• Workers are hard to find

• Skills are hard to understand

• Labor is hard to route to real demand

• Early economics are fragile

• The systems required to coordinate labor at scale were never built

To a billion workers and beyond
The opportunity ahead really is about removing the final constraint on human progress.

Across housing, energy systems, infrastructure, factories, AI compute, climate resilience, and entire categories of physical systems we haven’t yet imagined, the bottleneck to the outcomes we desire is no longer ideas, capital, or technology but the ability to coordinate skilled human effort in the real world with speed, precision and scale.

When access is blocked and early careers are unstable, human craft becomes a bottleneck causing projects to slow down, costs to rise and ultimately ambition to shrink. By fixing access, routing, and workforce formation, we can turn human craft from a civilization-scale constraint into a force multiplier across every physical industry that depends on human skill.

If we get this right, society gains something fundamental in the capacity to build. To build housing faster. To deploy energy systems at scale. To expand infrastructure, manufacturing, and compute. And eventually, to construct the systems that take us beyond this planet.

This is why we are scaling the world’s craft, so that anything can be built, anywhere.
