Canadian start-up PledgX is on a mission to transform the construction industry. Whilst using smart computing to
help contractors prove their reputation they are also helping project owners by implementing artificial
intelligence (AI) powered solutions for vendor selection.

many wonderful companies and people. We are on a mission to use digital solutions to help general contractors,
sub-contractors and tradespeople make a difference to this economy.”

ecosystem.”
