Episode Details

$845 million. In cash. That's what Procore just paid for DroneDeploy.

We sat down and ran the actual cross-sell math on this deal, and it's a lot steeper than the headline number makes it loo

We also got Handoff founder Dmitry Alexin on to talk about his AI estimating tool, and he was clear about one thing: "It's not a tool, it's not a takeoff tool."

And PR consultant Kevin Ferguson told us what it actually takes to get a construction tech startup covered in the press. Spoiler: it's not just having a good story

New episode's up.
