BuildDirect Technologies Inc. is an innovative platform for purchasing and selling quality home improvement materials online. It directly connects buyers (consumers and contractors) with sellers (suppliers and manufacturers). Categories include, but are not limited to, flooring, tile, decking, building materials, outdoor, kitchen & bath, moldings & accessories and doors. The company is credited with building the first open network for heavyweight products. In February 2016, BuildDirect launched the BuildDirect Home Marketplace – the world’s largest online marketplace for heavyweight home improvement products. It is an online platform that cuts out the “middle men” to connect the suppliers of home improvement products directly with their customers. The BuildDirect Home Marketplace allows suppliers to manage the sale and distribution of their home improvement products. In February 2017, BuildDirect launched the Gateway Supply Chain, opening their logistics network to third parties and providing access to warehousing services, ground and ocean logistics for any part of the shipping process. The company was founded in 1999 and is based in Vancouver, Canada with warehouses across North America.
BuildDirect has raised $3.0M across 1 funding round on record, the most recent a Post-IPO Debt of $3.0M announced in Feb 2022.

About FundedIQ's BuildDirect Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for BuildDirect is left off this page rather than filled in.
