What We Learned After a Year of Talking to Construction Tech's Biggest Names - November Monthly Review

"Follow the money to grow, follow your passion to build. While US construction tech startups have raised $30B, India's $1B investment is yielding better returns."

In today's episode of Bricks & Bytes, we did our November Monthly Review where we reflected on an action-packed month of content creation and exciting future plans.

We even explored fascinating market dynamics, founder insights, and geographic opportunities in construction tech.

Tune in to find out about:

✅ Our successful launch of the AI in Construction Report and first steps into monetization

✅ Highlights from our Boston trip interviewing startups at Suffolk's boost cohort

✅ Behind the scenes of the upcoming Ediphi super series releasing in January

✅ Plans for New York and San Francisco tour in 2025, plus a potential India expansion

Listen to the full episode on Spotify to hear Owen, Martin, and Patric discuss their key takeaways from November, upcoming content plans, and Patric’s take on why founders often over-obsess with product and under-obsess with distribution.
