Scheduling Startups funded by Y Combinator (YC) 2026

Foreman is the all-in-one AI-powered project management platform built for construction contractors and the trade industry. Today, contractors run complex businesses on a patchwork of tools that were never designed for construction — estimates in spreadsheets, plans in email, proposals copy-pasted from old Word docs, photos scattered across phones. Nothing talks to anything else, and the admin work never stops. Foreman replaces that patchwork with a single platform that manages the full lifecycle of a construction job, from first estimate to final invoice. Contractors upload plans, photos, or a project description, and Foreman's AI instantly generates structured takeoffs, scoped estimates, and professional proposals — in minutes, not hours. From there, every customer record, document, permit, photo, change order, and conversation lives in one place, organized around the job. The result: contractors spend less time buried in admin and more time building. They bid faster, manage jobs with less chaos, and close projects cleanly — without duct-taping five tools together to do it.

BiggerPicture is a B2B SaaS solution that automates the scheduling of pick-up and delivery times for trucking companies and warehouses. 75% of shipments are still scheduled over phone calls and emails.

Humance is building an AI-powered project management tool for the construction industry, where work is highly coordinated and delays are costly. Large projects involve dozens of interdependent workstreams where a single setback can cascade unpredictably through the entire timeline. Today, most project managers track this manually — tracing dependencies by hand, updating schedules, and notifying stakeholders one by one. It's slow, error-prone, and pulls focus away from the higher-order decisions that demand real expertise. Experienced project managers carry deep knowledge — of sequencing, trade-offs, site realities, and stakeholder dynamics — that no tool can replicate. Humance is built around that expertise. By handling the mechanical work of dependency tracking and schedule coordination, it frees project managers to do what they're actually skilled at: exercising judgment, managing complexity, and keeping the big picture in view.
