Miter just addressed a $2 trillion GDP problem, an aging workforce, and a timecard stuck in 1970. Productivity’s been declining, nearly 1% a year for five decades, and we’re short 400,000+ workers just to meet demand. Somewhere between clipboards and compliance audits, the system forgot who actually builds the world.
Founded in 2021 by Connor Watumull and Tobin Paxton, Miter isn’t some shiny app playing dress-up in hardhats. This is a team born from the grind, Connor from Bain Capital Ventures and Bessemer Venture Partners, Tobin from Catalant Technologies and Parthenon-EY. Together, they got their hands dirty re-architecting how contractors manage people, projects, and payments.
Now they’ve secured $23M in fresh capital, bringing total funding to $38M, from Bessemer Venture Partners and Coatue Management LLC. Repeat backers. Still leading. That’s conviction capital.
Miter’s platform doesn’t just digitize, it rewires. It integrates HR, finance, and field ops into one playbook. Automated union and prevailing wage payroll? Check. Field crew reporting tied to job costing? Built in. Smarter corporate cards tracked across projects? Plugged into your accounting stack. With integrations to ServiceTitan, BuildOps, Procore Technologies, Sage, NetSuite, and more, Miter fits into the chaos without reinventing it.
Today, 700+ contractors, from regional shops to public sector pros, use Miter to cut 20–40 admin hours every week. No bloat, no middle layers, just more jobs done right. That’s what happens when tech understands both the sitemap and the job site.
Their north star? Make it faster and easier to build the infrastructure powering energy, housing, transit, and data. If America’s going to build again, it’ll need a workforce platform as tough as the work itself. Miter isn’t solving a software problem. They’re solving a labor crisis hiding in plain sight.
