Soil Connect, a digital marketplace focused on the multi-billion dollar soil and aggregates industry, has closed a $3.25 million seed funding round led by TIA Ventures.

Heartland Ventures co-led the round, which also included investments from a diverse mix of venture capital firms, real estate managers and construction companies, including CEMEX Ventures, Great Oaks Venture Capital, Situs Real Estate, Altmark Group, AB Investment Group, J.G. Pertucci Company and Bazella Contracting.
