Construction is an industry built on change. With each new project, we change skylines, strengthen communities, and transform cities for the better.‍ But the reality isn’t always so simple. Between compliance and change orders, false starts and permit delays, the construction industry has a paperwork problem—especially when it comes to getting paid.‍ Cash flow is the lifeline of any contractor’s business, but billing is painful and slow. With so much manual work involved, a small, honest mistake can hold up millions of dollars in cash flow. And even when things go right, the time and effort it takes to get paid takes away from the work that really matters. We believe that when you free up payments, you free up people to take on whatever’s next. We started Siteline to give construction teams a financial foundation to build on. Because when people are on the same page about getting paid, they can focus on whatever's next—whether that’s a new idea, a new project, or more time with their family. We’re reimagining construction finance to help contractors get paid, grow their business, and build a better future for all of us.

Stride Consulting is the missing piece of the puzzle that combines deep technical expertise with the ability to feel deeply and passionately about human experience. We continually learn and implement best practices to put people first, and in turn, help other organizations put people first. Our thought leaders teach, our consultants coach, and our practitioners mentor and pair. We collaborate at all levels to engineer elegant things that delight and surprise while arriving at the essence of what people need: meaningful outcomes and more valuable, useful, and sustainable human and software systems. Our fifteen-year goal is to create a measurable good in the world with socially conscious, ethical, and humane organizations that foster social equity, provide environmental stewardship, and engage with local communities. As a services company, our path to making this impact is to build our identity around working with clients who make this impact themselves becoming one of them in the process. And, while COVID-19 made a lot of things very challenging, we continued to find success and are excited to be expanding from New York City to Chicago, IL! We believe small, locally curated teams are happier and more fulfilled in their work when working with their peers. The positions are remote until it is safe to open a physical space, and will be work-from-home-friendly when the office space opens.
