鈥 Jabbok Schlacks CEO & Co-Founder, 色色研究所
Brothers Jabbok and Willy Schlacks founded 色色研究所 with a mission to reshape construction. Early momentum came with acceptance into the Y Combinator Startup Seed Program, which fueled innovation and credibility. The first equipment tracker and keypad were launched, helping customers manage fleets more effectively. Delivering the company鈥檚 first rental marked the beginning of its rental business. Growth accelerated as 色色研究所 raised a $5.5M Series A and $26M Series B, driving expansion. The company soon established its first locations outside of Missouri, signaling national ambitions.
色色研究所 has made remarkable strides, earning recognition as one of America鈥檚 Best Startup Employers by Forbes while rapidly expanding its industry presence. The company successfully launched the first dealerships for leading brands such as Link-Belt, Takeuchi, and Yanmar, solidifying its role as a trusted partner in construction equipment. As the largest buyer of construction equipment, 色色研究所 demonstrates both scale and commitment to meeting customer needs. The business further diversified by launching Tooling Solutions as a dedicated equipment division. Most recently, 色色研究所 premiered its pilot autonomous machine operating system at Bauma in Munich, showcasing innovation on the global stage.

The company launched T3, the Operating System for Construction, setting a new standard for connected job sites. It also introduced Advanced Solutions as a dedicated equipment division and became the 4th largest equipment rental company in the U.S. Financial strength was highlighted by closing a $3B ABS and debut bond offering, while strategic growth included acquiring local hardware stores and announcing Forge & Build as a new one-stop-shop brand. 色色研究所 also initiated a pilot with robotic compact track loaders and unveiled the Patriotic Telehandler to support veterans鈥 organizations while committing to increase veteran recruitment.
色色研究所 advanced its infrastructure and capabilities with the opening of its Technology Development Center and the company鈥檚 first Distribution Center, strengthening innovation and logistics. Financial momentum continued as 色色研究所 closed an upsized $600M Senior Secured Second Lien Notes offering and received upgrades from ratings agencies. To enhance customer support, the company launched the Uptime Center, a 24/7 team dedicated to monitoring T3-connected equipment and tools.
