ProcurePro has been named as one of just four finalists for Startup of the Year in the 2025 Startup Daily Best in Tech Awards - a recognition of the impact being made on one of the world’s most critical industries: construction.

The Startup Daily Best in Tech Awards celebrate the people and companies shaping the future of Australian technology. From early-stage startups to scale-ups making waves globally, the awards recognise innovation, execution, and the ability to create real-world change.

But that’s not all…

This year, it’s not just ProcurePro in the spotlight. Head of Operations, Shilpa Mohan, has also been named a finalist in the Future Leaders category.

Joining ProcurePro as the 7th non-founder employee, Shilpa has had a pivotal impact in shaping the company into a startup making serious waves, including being recently placed on a ‘Unicorn watch list’. From Marketing, CS, Sales and even EDP recruitment and leadership, Shilpa has played an important role in all areas of the business.

She doesn’t stop there, however. Her passion and enthusiasm has spread into the wider startup and tech community. She’s the organiser of a micro community of startup operators, advises AirTree’s pioneers community, is a speaker at Southstart_, an advisor for SXSW Sydney and Curator for TEDxSydney. 

Her leadership and dedication have helped create the environment that allows not just the ProcurePro team and product, but the wider tech and startup community - to thrive.

Why this recognition matters

Procurement is the unsung hero of construction. Done well, it saves time, cuts costs, reduces risk, and keeps projects moving. Done poorly, it can derail even the best-planned builds.

Our mission is clear: save 1 billion hours of construction administration. Today, we’re powering $70B worth of project value on the platform, helping contractors deliver faster, with greater visibility, consistency, and control.

Being recognised as a finalist for Startup of the Year is a nod to the scale of the challenge we’ve taken on - and the progress we’ve made.

It’s also a testament to the incredible people who’ve made it possible, from our talented team to the forward-thinking builders who’ve partnered with us to change the way procurement gets done.

The road ahead

This recognition fuels our commitment to push harder, move faster, and keep challenging the status quo. The construction industry is evolving, and we’re proud to be leading the charge - backed by a team who make it happen.
