Target Information

Sitemate is an innovative startup that originated from the Startmate Accelerator in 2017. Founded by Hartley Pike and Sam, Sitemate aims to address significant challenges within the built world, including sectors such as construction, energy, utilities, and manufacturing. Pike, having grown up in his family's construction business and later working as a civil and structural engineer, identified a common issue: the amount of time wasted on manual paperwork and physical documentation. His frustration with these inefficiencies led to the inception of Sitemate.

Since its formation, Sitemate has made impressive strides, launching its first product, Dashpivot, which is a no-code platform that empowers users in the built world to digitize their operations swiftly and cost-effectively. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools tailored for various team sizes, from small companies to large infrastructure projects.
