Hardline Raises $2M Pre-Seed Funding Led by Mucker Capital

The company plans to use the funding to speed up product development, improve integrations with commonly used construction platforms, and expand its presence in both commercial and residential construction markets.

Hardline’s platform records jobsite phone calls and onsite conversations, then automatically converts them into organized construction documents such as RFIs, punch lists, change orders, task assignments and daily reports.

The platform integrates with construction software, including Procore, Autodesk Forma, and Hilti’s Fieldwire, and supports both English and Spanish for field teams.

Competitors in the market include OpenSpace, which focuses on site documentation and reality capture, Buildots, known for AI-based project tracking, and Versatile, which uses crane and jobsite data to improve project visibility.

Hardline believes voice data from jobsite conversations is an overlooked source of valuable project information that existing platforms do not fully use.

“Alena and Karly are precisely the kind of founders we love to invest in – creative, committed to excellence, and using their industry insider know-how to be first to market with a novel and entirely modern solution that is seamless for its users,” adds Michelle McBane, managing director at StandUp Ventures.

“Nirman began backing Hardline early last year, and we increased our commitment this round. The administrative burden on field managers is real, expensive, and getting worse as back-office headcount shrinks — and field users often skip daily reports simply because the flow of work doesn’t stop. A voice-first tool that slots into the platforms builders already use, without a learning curve, is exactly the future we see for field input. Hardline is pulling that future forward,” notes Gregg Wallace, general partner at Nirman Ventures.

“I grew up on construction sites. The problem has never been that supers and PMs don’t know what’s happening on their jobs—it’s that they spend half their day documenting it after the fact, hunched over a laptop in a job trailer. Hardline closes that gap at the point of contact, the moment a call ends, before anyone has to open a spreadsheet,” says Karly Heffernan.

“We are not asking field crews to change anything. We meet them where they already are—on the phone. The voice layer of construction has been invisible to project management software until now. Hardline makes it legible,” notes Alena Tuttle.
