Dalton Mills has raised $9.2M to help the trades build software that works the way they do.

For too long, contractors and skilled trades have had to adapt their businesses to rigid, one-size-fits-all software. Dalton Mills is turning that model on its head—enabling companies to create bespoke, AI-powered workflows without writing code.

As software evolves from systems of record to systems that do the work, Dalton Mills is helping bring the next era to one of the most important sectors of our economy.

Congratulations to the Dalton Mills team on the raise and on the mission to let the builders build.
