ToolBelt

ToolBelt is a technology-driven platform that connects residential construction contractors with skilled laborers and tradespeople. Founded by Josh Engelbrecht and based in Vancouver, Washington, ToolBelt has raised over $1 million from investors, including Elevate Capital and Portland Seed Fund. The platform streamlines the hiring process for contractors and provides tradespeople with access to various project opportunities. ToolBelt offers a labor matching platform where contractors can post projects and connect with pre-vetted crews. It features comprehensive crew profiles that showcase work history, licenses, and trade specialties. The company also provides dedicated support to help contractors align with their production needs. Additionally, ToolBelt operates the ToolBelt Contractor Universe (TCU), a data analytics solution that aggregates contractor information to assist in sales and marketing efforts. With a focus on the Pacific Northwest and plans for expansion across the West Coast, ToolBelt aims to enhance the efficiency of hiring in the residential construction industry.
