2 FAVORITE QUOTES:

“The problem is, and this is my opinion is those seed rounds. You’re not worth that much money when you raise at 30 million or 50 million or sometimes 100 million. You’re not truly worth that. It’s they didn’t pay to acquire you they paid to get ownership, they paid to get a percentage of a future. It’s buying a future.”

– Dustin DeVan on why inflated seed valuations prevent construction tech consolidation

“Sometimes it’s not even necessarily their fault and they’re just pure and simple in an innovator’s dilemma. Like they just can’t shake up their legacy product because it would be too disruptive to their existing customers.”

– Andrew Krippner on why established companies can’t compete despite having more resources
