Procore Technologies is a construction project management software company founded in 2003, with headquarters in Carpinteria, CA. The campus is situated on a 9-acre oceanfront property. Procore expanded their offices in 2015 to encompass 61,079 square feet[1]. According to architecture firm Kingdom Industry who designed the new space, the office was intentionally designed to feel spatially chaotic and elicit alertness and adaptability in employees[2].

Yuliya Chernova reported in the Wall Street Journal that Procore's investors include Venture Capital firm Bessemer Venture Partners, and that they valued the company at "$500 Million post-money."[3]
Software[edit]
Procore’s project management software includes features such as meeting minutes, drawing markups and document storage[4], all designed to support input from a number of sources including forwarded emails and PDFs[5]. They have also developed innovative partner integrations including one with Botlink(a joint venture by Packet Digital) that allows users to stream in both video and data from drones surveying their construction projects.[6]
Unlike other software offerings in the space, customers are charged per project instead of per user.[4]
Procore's offerings also include an App Marketplace for partner integrations. Partners include Box, Botlink[7], and Dexter + Chaney, an ERP provider.[8]
History[edit]
Founder and CEO Craig "Tooey" Courtemanche created the software that became Procore as a response to his struggles to manage the construction of his new home in Santa Barbara, from his then-current home in Silicon Valley.[3]
The company had 6 employees at the time of its founding in 2003, originally headquartered in Montecito, CA[5].
In each year since 2010, Procore’s revenue has grown by at least 100 percent, coming in at $4.8 million in 2012[5]. Procore has not publicly disclosed revenue figures since, but as of the end of 2015, the company had 1600 clients, and projects to make more than $75 million in revenue from paid users in 2016[3].
Reception[edit]
Software review company Software Advice ranked Procore the #1 most popular construction software[9], based on number of users, search traffic, and social media presence. Procore's office was included in a list of the 11 best office spaces in the U.S.[10]
