We recently hosted our inaugural Construct Founders Summit at the Officers’ Club in the Presidio, bringing together our portfolio founders building across the most foundational industries of our economy. Foundational Industries are growing at warp speed and we strived to provide practical, no-BS insights that our founders can immediately put to work—from navigating high-stakes deals and selling into government, to building exceptional products and world-class go-to-market teams. Operators who have scaled massive organizations, teams, and outcomes shared their thoughts with us: Jeanne Grosser (@jdewitt29) on GTM systems, Trae Stephens (@traestephens) on scaling in atypical venture markets, Yuhki Yamashita (@yuhkiyam) on world-class products, Ed Batista (@edbatista) on culture-building, Dennis Cinelli (@DennisKCinelli) on high-stakes deals, and Willy Schlacks on the journey to IPO. Our founders span multiple locations throughout the US, with many coming not only from the Bay Area but also from LA, New York, Boston, and Europe. As more late-stage capital flows into Foundational Industries, the need for collaborative sessions for founders building at the early stages is more important than ever; making small decisions at the early stages can drastically affect the direction of a company in later years. This is where we focus, and we loved getting everyone together in one room. We’re honored to be a part of our founders’ journeys as they build the next generation of companies reindustrializing our world. Thank you to all of our sponsors, @WithCoverageInc, @CooleyLLP, Andersen Tax, @Aduro_Advisors, and @PwC, for helping make it all happen.
