A few months ago, @_startuphacker and I decided to pivot @tyceai to focus on construction. Since then we've had conversations with over 70 construction companies and civil engineering firms. Sat in office rooms. Walked job sites. Talked to the people actually running these projects. What became clear pretty quickly: construction is an incredibly complex, high-risk industry. A single project can involve hundreds of trade partners, years of planning, and billions of dollars on the line. And it's completely people-driven. We realized early on that this industry needs domain-specific intelligence, not general AI. So that's what we're building at Tyce,purpose-built for construction teams. States and provinces are investing billions in infrastructure right now. Cities are being reshaped. That investment needs to be executed well, and the teams doing the executing deserve better tools. That's where we want Tyce to be. Grateful for every GC and engineer who opened their doors and shared what their world actually looks like. That's what's driving what we're building.

@polhovleon 🤣

IBM?? no we talk about cmo abgs

the best feeling when after 1 week with your product, customer tells you its already paid for itself. @tyceai

When a construction executive takes a discovery call while stuck in traffic by Rhinos on a safari in South Africa.... Why I love the construction industry... can't make this up. 🦏🦏🦏

Betting on hyper-context routing to run enterprise sales documents. Name your prompt.

Stay close to your customers they say... Great we live there now, nothing like walking the halls

Always follow up. After my 5th email follow up from a prospective client. The executive in question sends me this... Even if there was initial reticence, we got on a call and are now negotiating an enterprise deal for the whole company. Never give up.

Keep pitching!

1 hour travel to do 1 hour in-person sales meetings? Worth it.

Another day, another boardroom

Best part about being an entrepreneur. Showcase killer demos, trigger conference room debates on tech to legacy industries. That's how the world evolves.

@Juls0x sell

can someone teach me the strategy to get rich?

@Star_Knight12 robots

what's coming next after AI

listen to customer calls, pause grinding operations to strategize and push for more

Drafting proposals just got a lot faster... Crazy how a simple thing like @ shortcuts can bring so much delight referencing your documents to work

@_startuphacker can do better

Tech bro in his unnatural habitat

Bringing what I like best about software experience (Figma, chatGPT, drive) to the the built environment. Actionable use cases that bring value to civil engineering and construction firms - like RFP & proposal drafting. Context is key. Historical references matter. Company language is the identity.
