Earlytrade Raises $25M to Deploy Agentic AI Across the Construction Payments Ecosystem

S3 Ventures & Brick & Mortar Ventures lead Series A as Earlytrade posts 7X US revenue growth; Scott Wolfe, founder of Levelset, joins board

DENVER, June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Earlytrade, the global fintech platform transforming working capital management for the construction industry, today announced new funding bringing total raised to $25 million, including its Series A round led by S3 Ventures and Brick & Mortar Ventures. Capital is being deployed across two priorities: expanding Earlytrade's US commercial operations and building agentic AI into the core marketplace infrastructure.

Earlytrade operates a subcontractor payments marketplace that allows general contractors to dynamically trade working capital with their subcontractor base, giving them the ability to secure their supply chains and ensure project outcomes are delivered. Since launching in the US in 2024, the company has achieved 7X revenue growth, grown its network to over 211,000 subcontractors, and facilitated more than $3 billion in early payments globally.

"Every dollar that flows through a construction project passes through a payment bottleneck that has never been solved at scale. Earlytrade has built the infrastructure layer that makes agentic AI in this space possible," said Charlie Plauche, General Partner at S3 Ventures. "That combination of a proven two-sided marketplace and a genuine AI deployment path is exactly what we look for when we back a category-defining company."
