About
Albiware is a Downers Grove, Illinois-based construction technology company — backed by Y Combinator (S22) with $3 million in total funding including a Series B round led by Frontier Growth in August 2025 — providing property insurance damage repair contractors (storm damage, fire restoration, water mitigation, roofing contractors) with an all-in-one business management platform that replaces the fragmented combination of CRM, project management, field documentation, scheduling, business intelligence, marketing automation, and HR management tools that insurance repair contractors typically manage across 5-10 separate systems. Founded in 2020 by Alex Duta and Shamoil Soni and operating with a 38-person team, Albiware serves the specialized niche of contractors who work within the property insurance claims process — a workflow-intensive business model where documentation quality, adjuster communication, and claim cycle time management directly determine contractor profitability and customer satisfaction.
