“We’ve done over 160 acquisitions since 2002. Some small, some billion-dollar companies.” – Alex Brihac, VP of Strategy at Hexagon
In today’s episode of Bricks & Bytes, we had Alex Brihac from Hexagon, a $6 billion company that most in construction tech haven’t heard of! We learned about their acquisition strategy, how they evaluate companies, and their vision for construction tech’s future.
Tune in to find out about:
✅ How Hexagon decides between building vs buying technology (they spend $800-900M annually on R&D!)
✅ Their four-pillar framework for evaluating acquisition targets
✅ Why they sometimes acquire service businesses, not just technology companies
✅ How founders should approach acquisition conversations with strategic buyers
Listen now on Spotify to hear insights from a company that’s been quietly reshaping the construction tech landscape through strategic acquisitions for decades.
