Mason is building the AI workforce management platform for construction. We help contractors run their entire back office — time tracking, HR, payroll, compliance, and communication — without the manual work that slows teams down. Today, managing labor in construction is fragmented across paper field notes, spreadsheets, text messages, emails, HR platforms, payroll systems, benefits websites, and accounting tools. These workflows are ripe for unification and automation through AI and modern, cloud-based systems that connect the field and back office. Mason replaces firms' siloed tools with a single platform that connects the field to the office in real time — capturing hours, simplifying HR, running payroll, and ensuring compliance automatically. Our platform saves teams 20+ hours per week by eliminating repetitive data entry and reducing errors across HR, payroll and accounting. Workers get a modern, intuitive way to track time and manage their pay, while office teams receive clean, structured data that flows directly into payroll and job costing systems. Construction is the least-digitized major industry in the U.S. — and we’re changing that. Mason is a NYC-based, venture-backed company on a mission to bring AI-first workflows to the field. Come build the future with us! About our team: Our team is led by Matt Kozlowski (former Chief of Staff at Plaid) and Jef Chedeville (3x acquired/exited founder - previously co-founded YC-backed HR SaaS HigherMe).

Lyearn is building the first AI-native unified HR and work platform — not traditional software with AI features bolted on, but a platform where AI is the architecture. Our proprietary MGSA framework (Mindset, Goals, Skills, Activities) turns fragmented employee signals into unified intelligence. This allows organizations to: * Autonomously define what success looks like in every role. * Continuously measure performance through 10,000+ signals per employee, every day. * Predict and prevent problems before they happen (87% turnover prediction accuracy, 60 days in advance). * Reduce administrative tasks by 40-70% and boost productivity by 43% within six months. * With 30-day deployments (vs. 18 months for legacy tools) and a 367% ROI in the first year, Lyearn replaces the 10–15 disconnected tools most enterprises juggle today. We’re not another integration layer. We’re not another dashboard. Lyearn is the last HR and work platform you’ll ever need — unifying Learning, Project Management, Performance, Engagement, and Knowledge into one AI-powered system that continuously learns and evolves with your business
