Just trying to be a good human.

This partnership will help more contractors stop the profit loss that comes from difficult handoffs, fragmented drafting and engineering talent, and scattered project files and revisions. https://t.co/xjuXmr1N9t

It's strange to be building a startup in today's geopolitical environment. It feels like we're all free falling to our dealths, but we're hopeful things will change.

[brandon bellegarde @b_bellegarde]

@davidtisch @BoxGroup Congrats! Super exciting for you all and any founders you fund.

We were just accepted into @Jason’s @FounderUni and would love to do a quick intro call.

[brandon bellegarde @b_bellegarde]

I'm stoked to announce that https://t.co/1UWkWJWjcQ has been accepted into @Jason's and @launch's @FounderUni.

We've been working hard and fast to make pre-construction easier, faster, and more profitable for commercial contractors.

Can't wait to get to work with this team. See you all in Austin!

@a16z @RaghuRaghuram Congrats, @RaghuRaghuram. I’m excited to see how you leverage your expertise to bring the world more great companies.

[brandon bellegarde @b_bellegarde]

I’m grateful that the reward is rich when the suck is real.

[brandon bellegarde @b_bellegarde]

Agreed. And, quickly getting to distribution can be tricky if founders aren’t already well networked within the VC ecosystem.

I’m not sure how clean it would be, but I’d be curious to see data on the number of “boring” ideas that get missed because the founders muddy the messaging in attempts to be sexy enough to win a 15 minute call with VC’s.

We've reduced the average time it takes to receive shop drawings and engineering, from 8 weeks to 8.6 days.

[brandon bellegarde @b_bellegarde]

@MrBeast, saw your chat with @StevenBartlett. I now require new hires to watch it.

Your theory of life, money as fuel, “A players”, and Feastables’ QA… on point.

I’m upending pre-construction with AI that will produce shop drawings in 2 hours vs weeks. Can we talk?

[brandon bellegarde @b_bellegarde]

@tooeyprocore I hope you’re able to give yourself the permission to really feel this moment. It has to be super rewarding. As a founder, I viscerally understand the sacrifices made day in and day out. And I’m energized to see you all succeed in big ways.

[brandon bellegarde @b_bellegarde]

Stumbled onto this today. If you’re thinking of doing a startup, this is priceless info.

@friedberg, thanks for being willing to go on your journey and for sharing what you learn. I’m learning lots from you these days.

@cyantist, https://t.co/cfyA69FSBa is in the pre-commercial construction industry which is broadly untouched by automation and tech. Industry has a 37 NPS. We’ve a working model that we bootstrapped and are in the process of vertically integrating.

[brandon bellegarde @b_bellegarde]

@friedberg @howardlutnick Hey @friedberg, I had a great deal of respect for you before this interview, but I have even more for you now. Thanks for doing your best to remain objective and in touch with the perspectives of everyday Americans.

[brandon bellegarde @b_bellegarde]

Are there classifieds for stimulating conversation? Think of the world you could discover if there were.

[brandon bellegarde @b_bellegarde]

Nuance. An invaluable tool for our deduction and inference tool boxes.

[brandon bellegarde @b_bellegarde]

Social media is an art exhibit illustrating a society’s desire to be seen as it spirals through a monetized anxiety attack.

[brandon bellegarde @b_bellegarde]

@rabois

Drafting Marketplace:

There's a clear path to vertical integration.

NPS: 37

The pre-construction industry is fragmented and virtually untouched.

Dream. Dream often. Dream big.

[brandon bellegarde @b_bellegarde]

We must collaborate with one another. We must love thy neighbor as thyself (all neighbors), we must educate ourselves, we must be better tomorrow than we were today.

We have big, existential problems to solve, and it will take peace to do so.
