Taylor Sandusky Co-Founded Punch Raises $2M in Funding

Punch, an Atlanta-based construction intelligence platform co-founded by Taylor Sandusky, has raised $2 million in funding. Gutter Capital invested in the round alongside early customer companies and technology angel investors.

The company will use the funding to expand its engineering and customer teams, continue developing its platform, and help more contractors adopt its technology.

What is Punch?

Punch provides construction software that connects jobsite teams, project managers, and accounting departments. Its platform turns information from field conversations, photos, and emails into reports, purchase orders, and follow-up tasks.

For example, a superintendent can share a photo or speak to the Punch app on a phone. The platform uses that information, and the contractor's internal rules to prepare daily reports, flag delays, or create tasks. It can also turn material requests into purchase orders using supplier pricing and approval processes.

Punch works alongside existing estimating and accounting systems. Contractors can start with daily reporting, purchasing, or invoice review and gradually add more workflows.

Why the Funding Matters

Punch plans to use the funding to expand its engineering and customer teams, improve its platform, and reach more contractors.

The company aims to reduce repeated data entry between construction sites, and offices while helping contractors preserve internal processes and project knowledge.

Who founded Punch?

Punch was founded in 2025 by Taylor Sandusky. The company operates as Punch Software Inc. and is based in Atlanta, Georgia.

“I spent years managing construction projects, and I know how much of the day can disappear into paperwork,” said Taylor Sandusky, founder of Punch. “The people running these jobs already know what happened and what needs to happen next. They should be able to say it once and have that information move the work forward.

“Construction projects are complex, unique and they don’t happen sitting behind a desk,” said Dan Teran, managing partner at Gutter Capital. “We are excited to partner with Taylor because he has lived the messy reality of construction and built Punch to harness the power of AI to meet users in the field where they are, which provides leadership with the real-time, project-level visibility required to make good decisions.”

Market and Business Growth

Punch is designed to help contractors manage daily reports, material orders, purchasing, invoices, and other project workflows.

Dustin Gibbs, general superintendent at Atlanta-based Piedmont Drywall, said the platform reduced the time needed to complete a daily report from 30 minutes to three minutes. He estimates that Punch saves him about 2.5 hours per day across daily reporting, material orders, and payroll.

The company also helps contractors document their internal procedures and approval rules, preserving operational knowledge as experienced workers leave the industry.

What Happens Next?

Punch plans to develop its platform further, expand its teams, and help more contractors use its construction intelligence tools.

The company will continue connecting field information with project management, operations, and accounting workflows.
