Tradebridge: Investor Pitch Deck
Bridging the gap between homeowners and trusted construction professionals with technology, transparency, and trust.
Founders: Javan Adjei & Josiah Wilson
Seeking: £20,000 Seed Investment
The Problem: A Broken Industry
The UK construction industry is plagued by inefficiency, mistrust, and a lack of transparency for homeowners and builders alike.
For Homeowners
- Insecurity & Fear: Constant worry about "cowboy builders," budget overruns, and projects left unfinished.
- Lack of Transparency: Difficulty finding qualified, trustworthy professionals and understanding fair pricing.
- No Power: Feeling powerless when disputes arise, with funds already paid and no clear path to resolution.
For Builders & Traders
- Wasted Resources: Countless hours and marketing pounds spent on unqualified leads and speculative bidding.
- Payment Chasing: Dealing with difficult customers, facing payment delays, and battling for hard-earned money.
- Administrative Burden: Drowning in paperwork instead of focusing on their craft and growing their business.

Why Tradebridge Wins
- End-to-End Management: We are not a listings site. We manage the entire project lifecycle, ensuring quality and accountability.
- Financial Security: Our escrow system eliminates the #1 cause of disputes—money. Homeowners are protected, and builders are guaranteed payment.
- AI-Powered Efficiency: Our technology provides unparalleled value by saving time, reducing costs, and providing data-driven insights for both parties.
- Human-Centric Service: Dedicated account managers provide a personal touch, offering support and mediation that fully digital platforms lack.
The Competitive Landscape
While platforms like MyBuilder and Checkatrade exist, they are primarily lead-generation directories that leave both parties vulnerable.
Our Key Differentiators:
- Pay-on-Completion Model: They charge for leads, we charge for success.
- Active Project Management: They are passive directories, we are active partners.
- Integrated Escrow: They offer no financial protection, we guarantee it.
Traction & Validation
We're not just an idea. We have a live platform, completed projects, and happy customers.
