Dalton Mills Raises $9.2M to Build the Platform the Trades Build On

The trades can build anything.

The roof. The crew. The route. The HVAC system, and the trust that wins the next job. The whole business, from the ground up.

Everything except the software it runs on.

Today, we're changing that.

Excited to come out of stealth and announce that we've raised an oversubscribed $9.2M round to build Dalton Mills.

Think of us like Replit for the trades, where the operator builds the software their business runs on.

Software has spent its whole history getting closer to the people who do the work.

First, the system of record. Software you stored your business in.

Then, the agentic era. Software that did the work for you.

Now, the bespoke era. Software you build yourself. Agentic, and without code.

Each era closed the gap. The bespoke era closes it for good.

Finally, the software works around your business, instead of you bending your business to fit the software.

Every operator has the one feature or workflow their software can't handle.

You ask the software company to build it. The answer is always no. Not because it's a bad idea. Because you're one of a few customers who need it, and they build for the masses, not for what you need.

So the part that makes your business yours never got built. You ran your business on software made for everyone. Never for you.

Until now.

The people who know the work can finally build software for themselves.

Now, to be clear, we're not building another piece of field service software for the builders.

We're building the platform the builders build on. Starting with home service businesses.

The trades have always built everything. Now they build the software too.

Let the builders build.
