  • Suffolk Boost Program, Super Series with Ediphi, AI Report & Construction Tech Funding - October’s Monthly Roundup
    2024/11/03

    "50% of construction projects are over budget or late due to contract compliance issues."

    In this month’s roundup episode, Martin & Owen discussed about their newly released AI report, which explores AI applications in construction document management. They interviewed five startups and Microsoft to gather insights for this report.

    They discussed upcoming plans, including a trip to Boston to record episodes with Suffolk's Boost program startups.

    Martin and Owen reflected on some notable episodes from October, including conversations with industry veterans like Amar from Autodesk and a discussion on why construction tech companies fail, using Flux as a case study.

    They touched on the rapid growth of construction tech funding, now representing 0.8% of total VC funding, up from 0.2-0.3% pre-2021.

    They also mentioned their robotics podcast, Bitbuilders, and an interesting episode about space construction with Lee Rosen from Think Orbital.
