Shreesha Ramdas — CEO
As the CEO and Co-Founder of Lumber, I am on a mission to transform how the construction contractors manage their workforce and financial operations. Lumber is an AI-native, agentic workforce platform purpose-built for construction. We deploy specialized AI agents: Union Agent, Prevailing Wage Agent, Manual Timesheet Agent, Foreman Agent, Onboarding Agent, and Pay Admin Agent that actively run labor operations across certified payroll, cost codes, job costing, and compliance in real time. We specialize in complex union and prevailing wage environments, integrating directly with leading accounting and ERP systems to eliminate manual work and protect margins. Through Builderfax, we also elevate the worker experience by managing credentials, safety certifications, and compliance visibility so contractors stay audit-ready while their workforce stays job-ready. By eliminating manual back-office work and giving contractors real-time labor cost visibility, Lumber helps construction leaders protect margins, reduce risk, and run more profitable projects. With over 9 years of experience as an investor and advisor, I have backed and supported over 40 startups and venture funds in the SaaS, cloud, AI, and data sectors. I have helped them scale, grow, and exit to leading companies such as LegalZoom, Symantec, ServiceNow and Google. I have also filed multiple patents in the field of online marketing and dynamic content generation, and served as a board member at Korbyt, a digital signage software company. My core competencies include product development, growth hacking, go-to-market strategy and execution, customer success, marketing data analysis, and business reporting. I am passionate about building and launching innovative products that solve real problems and create value for customers and stakeholders.
