ABOUT US

A massive industry. With a mission to transform it.

Construction is a $12T industry that accounts for 13% of global GDP, but it’s been one of the slowest to adopt modern software and improve productivity. We founded Agave in 2021 with a clear mission: to fix the way data moves across the construction industry, so contractors can operate more efficiently.

We're growing fast. And we're just getting started.

OUR OFFICE

Inside the Agave Office

We work in-person from a beautiful office in San Francisco's
bustling FiDi neighborhood

Lunch & learns

Once a month we bring a founder, customer, or investor to speak informally with our team over lunch.

Happy hours

Some of SF’s best bars are right outside our door (and we make good use of them).

Team dinners

Every new teammate gets a proper welcome with dinner at one of our favorite local spots.

Friday demos

Everyone shows off what they built during the week, helping the team keep tabs on our latest improvements.

On-site gym

Sound mind, sound body. We’ve got a Peloton, squat rack, Tempo, yoga mats, and everything you need to break a sweat — whenever works for you.
OUR VALUES

How we operate

  • Our roadmap is prioritized only by problems customers will pay to solve.
  • We pre-sell new features, and build once N customers commit to paying.
  • Engineers join customer calls regularly so they hear and understand customer needs first-hand.
  • We treat internal teams as customers too — sometimes the highest ROI is making our own teammates’ work faster or easier.

We work backward
from the customer

We’re customer obsessed, and avoid chasing
shiny ideas by tying every roadmap decision
to real customer commitment.

How we do this?
  • We have thousands of internal docs that track nearly every decision since day one, and anyone can read, comment on, or challenge them.
  • We set monthly goals and review them weekly, alongside sprint planning, sprint reviews, sales/post-sales recaps, recruiting updates, and team demos.
  • Our KPI sheets and business metrics are open to the whole team, so anyone can see how we’re performing in real time.
  • When we make a mistake or learn something new, we talk about it openly — sharing the tradeoffs and lessons learned with the broader team.

We operate
in the open

If you’ve ever wondered how to build a startup, you’ll get a front-row seat here. No matter your role, you’ll have access to everything — from financials to product plans to hiring decisions.

How we do this?
  • Teammates lead cross-functional projects outside their “core” role.
  • Everyone owns monthly goals that ladder up to the company’s top priorities — if you’re hitting your goals, you’re moving the company forward in a visible way.
  • No heavy hierarchy — everyone’s a hands-on builder with the autonomy to act and the freedom to build.

We take high
ownership

No one here is boxed in by their title. At Agave, you can wear multiple hats, shape priorities across the business, and lead high-impact initiatives from idea to launch.

How we do this?

Agave has one of the most low-ego, high-talent engineering teams I’ve worked with. We build in person, collaborate closely, and get to ship fast by staying deeply connected to our customers.
