ABOUT TOOEY COURTEMANCHE

I’ve always been passionate about building things, and I’ve often straddled two worlds that felt disconnected: construction and technology. I grew up in the construction industry—first as an apprentice in a carpentry shop, then later as a real estate developer. There, I became immersed in the Silicon Valley 1990s tech boom where I was inspired to found my first software startup and learned firsthand the impact digital transformation could have on many different industries.Several years later, I started building my own home. I was shocked to discover that, despite the sweeping impact of technology across most sectors, the construction industry still largely relied on manual processes. Across the industry, inefficient practices and costly rework continued to lead to suppressed profitability and immense physical waste. So I started Procore, based on my steadfast belief in the power of bringing humans and technology together to transform industries and improve lives. I chose the name Procore since our technology would enable people in the construction industry to focus on their PROfessional CORE competencies—in other words, their craft.Today, Procore is helping folks across 150 countries collaborate more easily by connecting owners, general contractors, specialty contractors, architects, and engineers in one place. Project teams are able to leverage the power of our complete construction platform and our vast partner network to drive safer, more efficient, and more productive projects. And while we’ve come a long way since the early days of Procore, what’s clearest to me is that we’re just getting started. I couldn’t be more excited for the future as we work toward our vision of improving the lives of everyone in construction. While much has changed since starting Procore, our north star has always been to put people first in everything we do. This informs how we treat our customers, employees, and how we build our products. It drives us to build customer-first products and culture-first teams. And when people ask me what my goal is for the future of Procore, my answer is simple: I never want to stop providing people in the construction industry with technology that makes their lives easier, safer, and more productive.
