Every other industry doubled productivity in the last 50 years. Construction lost 30%. @fredfilz and Mohamed Sadek, founders of Crewline, are automating the machines. Great piece by @FastCompany on how.

We're excited to have led their $7.1M seed.
They're hiring builders: https://t.co/nt2ibXIX2M.

Construction is facing labor shortages and productivity stagnation. The startup Crewline wants to solve those problems with autonomous machinery. https://t.co/XJgnBkxFZm

Most people in SF have no idea how hard non-VC businesses are.

Once you raise VC, you buy time:
- 2 years of runway
- Big margin for error
- Money goes into building, not delivering
- Office + laptop =/= existential risk

That’s a luxury.

In a traditional business, your ass is on the line day 1.

You need revenue immediately.
Every dollar goes into delivery first.
No one lends to you. Forget debt without a personal guarantee.

At MMY US we started with nothing in 2023.
No VC. No product.

We convinced a developer we could build homes faster than anyone else - before we had a factory.

Within 2 years:
- Built an 80,000 sqft housing factory
- Delivered hundreds of affordable homes
- Cut home construction timelines from 14 months → 4 months, fastest in the world
- $30M revenue
- 100 employees
- Customers included state + city governments

VC is hard.
Bootstrapped, asset-heavy execution businesses are harder.

Different games. Massive respect to operators who ship from day one.
