Buildforce Lands $10M Series A to Wire Up National Electrician Staffing Platform

Buildforce, a workforce platform dedicated to the electrical trade, has raised a $10 million Series A round led by Saepio Capital. The company will use the funds to expand its platform nationally and advance its technology.

Buildforce’s platform lets electrical contractors hire electricians fast, with features like workforce management, time and attendance tracking, and payroll. According to the company, over 90% of job requests get filled and more than 75% of contractors receive a qualified candidate match within 30 minutes. Electricians are presented with “Player Cards” showing metrics such as hours worked, attendance rate, and whether previous employers would rehire them—giving contractors data to make informed hiring decisions. The platform also includes an All-Star program for top workers and a mobile app where electricians can find consistent work.

The site lists over 250 electrical contractors as customers, including Tron Electric, Trio, Amber Electric, and Pieper. The company has been operating in Texas, where it also offers a $5 TDLR-approved continuing education course for electricians. The Series A capital will fuel a push into new markets as Buildforce positions itself as a tech-driven alternative to traditional staffing agencies. The company argues that agencies are often unreliable, administratively heavy, and risky for business owners, while its specialized platform gives contractors a competitive edge during bidding and reduces the friction of managing temporary and temp-to-hire labor.
