Try Dealroom →. The companies announced the round, alongside a five-year partnership, on August 25, 2026.
What's the endgame? Under the agreement, Builders FirstSource will integrate Digs' AI platform into its digital ecosystem, expanding tools for its 140,000 builder clients. The technology handles pre-construction estimates, blueprint collaboration, and post-move-in maintenance and warranty care.
The details: Founded in 2022 by Ryan Fink and Ty Frackiewicz, Digs charges builders on a SaaS model and has thousands of homes on its platform across all 50 states. The round pushes its total funding past $47 million, building on a $5 million pre-Series A last year. Earlier backers include Fuse, Flying FishDealroom has a profile for this one.

What's the money for? Digs has grown to 37 employees and plans to more than double that to over 60 by the end of the year, mostly in engineering, design, and product. Fink describes the tool as a "CarFax for the home," replacing static PDF blueprints with an AI hub that tracks a property's history, materials, and warranty details.
Why now? Fink said the partnership moves Digs closer to its vision of building "the first scalable true digital twin of the home" that outlives the construction phase. Builders FirstSource, the nation's largest supplier of building materials, operates roughly 565 locations across 43 states and serves 91 of the top 100 US metropolitan markets.
The backer's view: "Our customers are looking for seamless technology that helps them operate more efficiently and deliver a better homeowner experience," Builders FirstSource president and chief executive officer Peter Jackson said in a statement.
The signal: At $25.3 million, the round lands in roughly the 91st percentile of all US enterprise software Series A deals on record — a sizeable bet on AI reaching one of construction's most paperwork-heavy corners. Backing from a Fortune 500 customer, rather than a traditional venture firm, signals how incumbents are moving to own the software layer of homebuilding.
