Key deal: $111 million in strategic debt and equity

Speedchain has closed $111 million in strategic debt and equity financing to expand its commercial card programs and expense management software aimed at construction and other project-driven businesses. The financing mix includes debt from a private credit impact manager and equity investments from multiple venture and bank partners. The company announced the deal in a press release dated September 9, 2025 from Atlanta.

Why the money matters

The company said it will use the funds to accelerate its go-to-market work, speed up product innovation, and support a national rollout. The capital aims to help construction firms and similar companies get faster, clearer control over job-level spending — a common problem where receipts and costs are tracked late and across many job sites.

Who is backing the deal

Debt financing was provided by a private credit impact investment manager focused on fintech and underserved markets. Equity investors named in the financing round include several venture and strategic backers as well as a bank partner. The group brings experience in scaling financial infrastructure and market expansion.

What the platform offers

Speedchain’s platform is built to give builders and project teams end-to-end visibility and control over project-level spending. Features highlighted by the company include AI-powered receipt management, corporate expense processing, powerful card programs, AI-driven spending insights, and seamless integrations with back-office systems. The platform is designed to automate routine financial tasks, increase rewards capture, and connect field purchasing with accounting teams.

Card program and partnerships

The Speedchain card program is offered through a global payment network’s World Elite business offering, pairing the company’s software controls with a major card network’s benefits and reach. Alongside the financing, Speedchain said it has launched a national partnership with a major construction trade association to make its tools available to more contractors.

Board and leadership moves

As part of its recent developments, the company added a new board member with executive experience from Procore and enterprise software firms. Company leadership described the financing as a milestone that strengthens the business case for modern financial tools in construction and project-driven industries.

Investor and lender perspectives

The debt provider noted interest in fintech solutions that address gaps in historically underserved markets, saying the platform helps project managers and finance teams be more efficient and cost effective. An equity investor highlighted the value of real-time job costing in the field and said the platform’s AI-driven features reduce manual reconciliation and speed up decision-making.

Market context

Construction firms often juggle receipts, subcontractor invoices, and daily job costs across multiple sites. Finance teams traditionally reconcile expenses at month end, which can delay insight into budget overruns or opportunities to reallocate resources. Speedchain positions its product to bring that information closer to real time and to tie frontline spending to back-office accounting.

What to expect next

The company plans to deploy the new capital across sales and marketing, engineering and product development, and a broader geographic push. Customers should see deeper integrations, more AI-driven features for expense and receipt handling, and wider availability of the card program tied to the World Elite business network.
