Ergeon's mission is to empower the world to build.
Considering that the construction industry is worth over $10 trillion globally, it’s got its fair share of issues. Chief amongst these is a labor shortage, particularly in the USA where there are at least a half a million unfulfilled jobs.
The majority of these jobs are smaller, faster home improvement projects which don’t appeal to contractors. Homeowners in turn are often unable to source small businesses, given their lack of online visibility.
Ergeon, whose CTO is Upwork co-founder Odysseas Tsatalos, wants to bridge this divide by allowing customers to order construction projects online, then sourcing local contracting partners to complete the job while freeing them of any admin. Its first offering is fences, but the plan is to quickly roll out more home construction services.
The company was in stealth mode for four years before exploding onto the scene in 2022 with tens of millions in funding, and a global staff headcount already in the hundreds. This early aggression indicates that the plan is to expand rapidly in the US before going international.
