A place for builders
Skillit is the professional network built for construction workers. We’re helping more than 200,000 members grow in their trade with the skills they already have. With thousands more craft professionals joining every day, some of the most important contractors hire craft through Skillit—including 13 of the 25 largest builders in America.
Since 2021, we’ve been on a mission to give everyone access to construction’s greatest opportunities. Our long term vision is to scale the world’s craft, so that anyone can build anything, anywhere.
Skillit is solving one of the world’s hardest and most stubborn problems. The industry has spent decades assuming a labor shortage, and therefore that the solution is to build machines or train more people, but our founder’s path made him question that underlying assumption.
Construction, it turns out, isn’t fundamentally constrained by a shortage of workers, but by a lack of digital access to the 95% of workers it already has. That insight became the foundation for Skillit.

Founder & CEO · Skillit
We are continuously working to interpret live demand from America’s top contractors, and intelligently route our members to the right project, place and moment. While we work to expand our network, we are committed to understanding the diverse interests across a range of demographics and specialized occupations, and keeping the tradition of technical excellence, authenticity, and uniqueness.
We believe Skillit is building one of the most important companies of this generation.

Skillit is backed by leading venture funds including Building Ventures, MetaProp, Bow Capital, Holt Ventures, WND Ventures and Suffolk Technologies and leading operators and founders including Dan Teran, Willy Schlacks, Noah Ready-Campbell, and Gregor Watson.
Today, as a historic infrastructure buildout unfolds, 9 out of 10 contractors say they can’t find the workers they need. Skillit is shifting the conversation from workforce scarcity to talent access. We work with journalists to share data-driven stories on construction, labor, and workforce trends.
We’re looking for people who take craft seriously
Skillit runs on the same traits we see in our members: agency, judgment, stamina, and a commitment to doing the work right. We’re building something that matters to the people who make our physical world. If that’s the kind of work you want to do, we want to hear from you.
