Meet the first 25: The Founding 100 begins

The first cohort of contractors are claiming their spots. Here’s who they are, what they build, and why they chose to be early.

The Founding 100 program isn’t a marketing gimmick — it’s the first generation of contractors helping us shape what TradeSpace becomes.

In exchange for being early, the first 25 get two years free, a permanent Founding Member badge on their profile, and a feature in The Community series.

Why this group matters

These contractors are taking a swing on a brand-new platform in a single city. Their feedback shapes everything — from how bids work to how reviews appear to what counts as verified.

What we’ve learned already

Profile completeness matters more than we thought. Speed to first response matters even more. And nothing — nothing — converts like a great portfolio photo.

More profiles incoming. If you want to be among them, the door is still open.
