Speedchain secures $111 million to scale its construction-focused commercial card and expense platform

Summary

Speedchain closed a $111 million financing package made up of debt and equity to accelerate national growth, product development, and go-to-market efforts for its construction-focused commercial card and expense management platform. The debt portion was provided by Community Investment Management (CIM), a private credit impact investment manager, while a group of equity backers joined the round, including GTM Fund, Village Global, TTV Capital, K5 Global, Tandem, and Emigrant Bank.

Key details

The company announced the financing on September 9, 2025, saying the capital will be used to speed national expansion, fund product innovation, and strengthen go-to-market operations. The move follows recent strategic steps by the company, including the addition of Dennis Lyandres, a senior executive with experience at large software and construction tech firms, to Speedchain’s board of directors, and a new national partnership with a major construction trade association.

Why this matters

Construction and other project-driven industries have long struggled with tracking receipts, managing job-level costs, and reconciling spending across multiple sites. Speedchain’s platform aims to close that gap by linking frontline spending to back-office control, offering what the company describes as end-to-end visibility, AI-powered receipt management, and corporate expense processing. The financing is intended to let Speedchain roll out these capabilities more broadly to contractors, subcontractors, and project finance teams nationwide.

Who is backing the deal

The debt portion was provided by Community Investment Management (CIM), which focuses on private credit with an impact orientation. Equity participants named by the company include GTM Fund, Village Global, TTV Capital, K5 Global, Tandem, and Emigrant Bank. Investors noted the market need for better tools in the construction sector and the potential for a platform that marries card programs with expense controls and real-time job costing.

Platform and product highlights

Speedchain’s product combines commercial card programs with expense management software. Core capabilities called out by the company include:

  • AI-powered receipt capture and processing to reduce manual entry and speed reconciliation.
  • Project-level visibility and controls so project managers can see spending tied to specific jobs in near real time.
  • Powerful card programs offered through Mastercard’s World Elite business network to enable global payments and rewards.
  • Integrations and AI-driven insights that connect field spending to finance systems and suggest optimizations.

Takeaways from leadership and investors

Company leadership positioned the financing as a major step toward transforming how commercial spending is managed for construction and project-based businesses, and emphasized that the investor group brings experience in scaling financial infrastructure and go-to-market execution. The debt provider framed the investment as meeting a clear need in a historically underserved market, noting the platform’s potential to make project managers and finance teams more efficient and cost effective. Board and investor representatives highlighted the importance of real-time job costing, claiming the platform replaces month-end reconciliation with continuous visibility.

Partnerships and market positioning

The Speedchain card program pairs the company’s software with Mastercard’s network and benefits, positioning the product as a combined payments-and-software solution rather than a stand-alone card. Speedchain markets itself as a global fintech focused on the project-based economy, with tools designed to bridge the gap between field spending and back-office accountability, unlock rewards, and help firms scale with confidence.

Recent company moves

Along with the financing, Speedchain added a senior industry executive to its board and announced a national partnership with a major construction trade organization, both of which are intended to boost market reach and product-market fit among contractors and builders.

Practical impact for contractors

For finance teams and project managers, the expanded funding is meant to accelerate rollouts of automation that reduce time spent on receipt collection, reconciliation, and manual job costing. The combined card and software approach is positioned to give field staff simple card access while giving finance teams control and insight at the job level.

Contact and timing

The announcement was made on September 9, 2025. For further information provided with the release, a general contact phone number was listed as 888-776-0942 (available 8 AM–10 PM ET).
