Our Story
Privv’s origin story is a tapestry of innovation, collaboration, and visionary leadership.
Ville Houttu, a serial entrepreneur and the CEO of Privv, brought his extensive experience in software and SaaS, along with a successful track record from his previous venture. Joining forces with Chris Nations, whose two decades in capital project management complemented Ville’s expertise, they founded Privv. This platform, designed to streamline every phase of capital projects in education, reflects their combined proficiency and vision. Their journey, marked by recognition in prestigious forums and a commitment to excellence, has transformed Privv into a beacon of efficiency and a testament to transforming complex challenges into streamlined solutions in the educational sector.
Navigating the complex world of construction project management shouldn't require an advanced degree. That's why, at Privv, we took it upon ourselves to create a platform so user-friendly that even without a background in construction, you can become proficient with just an hour of training. We believe that simplicity shouldn't compromise power, and with Privv, a couple of mouse clicks can seamlessly transition you from a macro view of all your projects to a micro view of any specific undertaking.
Our commitment to user empowerment extends beyond ease of use. We understand that support is paramount. That's why our world-class support team is here for you, ensuring that assistance is just a call or email away. It's a promise we make and stand by—setting us apart from competitors who can't offer the same level of ongoing support.
Choosing the right construction project management software is like choosing a long-term partner. We recognize the stakes involved, as the consequences of a wrong choice can be both frustrating and expensive. Statistics speak volumes, with 39% of capital projects failing due to poor planning and a staggering 73% significantly exceeding their budget. Privv is not just a software; it's a commitment to helping you defy these odds, providing a reliable ally in the often challenging landscape of construction project management. Your success is our success, and we're here to ensure your journey is as smooth and efficient as possible.
