Trade Hounds, which aims to be the LinkedIn of the construction industry, announced today the close of its $3.2 million seed funding round.

The financing brings Boston-based Trade Hounds’ total venture funding raised to date to about $8.1 million, the company said.

In conjunction with the investment, Trade Hounds announced plans to launch a jobs platform this summer that connects qualified tradespeople with construction companies and staffing firms.

Australian native David Broomhead came up with the idea for Trade Hounds in 2014 after working with his uncle, who operated a construction company.
