Their own description (from YC)
Hippo Build is building the Operating System for the Construction industry.
We automate and optimize back office functions and the supply chain of Small and Medium Construction Companies. We save our customers hours everyday, and 1000’s of dollars every month on better sourced materials. And it takes only minutes for them to onboard
We charge a small SaaS fee, + 1% transaction fee for the materials sourced. We are integrated with multiple marketplaces and providers, letting us automatically source better priced materials. This allows us to stay affordable for the SMB, whilst earning $20-100K per company.
