Sneak Preview - 2024 Speaker Spotlight: introducing Scott Suiter, Creative Director at Suiter&Company "Don’t let branding, marketing, or social media distract you from the most important thing – building a really great product.” Scott will be among our fantastic mentors working with the 2024 Formwork Labs cohort, giving a talk called The Importance of Branding and Storytelling in the Early Days. Scott Suiter started his brand design studio, Suiter&Company, in the Fall of 2022 focusing on helping startups get their brand up and running. Suiter&Co’s support ranges from helping with branding, storytelling, naming, and messaging, to prototyping and digital product design. When it comes to raising capital, attracting talent, differentiating a product, and sending a clear message to customers, the importance of a strong brand identity cannot be understated. We are excited for Scott to help this year’s cohort think through these key decisions and get creative!

Sneak Preview - 2024 Speaker Spotlight: introducing Martin Roth, former CRO of Levelset, a Procore Company “Sales doesn't have to be complicated: Pick your ideal customer, find a channel that works, then execute. Your next 10 customers should look like your last 10 customers.” Martin will be among our amazing mentors working with the 2024 Formwork Labs cohort, giving a talk called How to Close your First 100K in ARR. Martin is the former CRO of Levelset, a cloud-based platform that helps contractors and suppliers get paid faster on construction projects. As Levelset's first sales hire and revenue leader, Martin led the company's revenue growth since joining in January of 2013. Martin was critical in scaling the team through its $500MM acquisition by Procore Technologies in 2021. His experience as an entrepreneur and a SaaS sales leader has helped propel Levelset to one of the most successful exits in construction tech. Martin now works with founders and sales leaders to help them scale their Go-To-Market execution.

Thank you to the overwhelming support from the construction industry -- for this upcoming cohort, we have 85+ individuals who have signed up to be a mentor for the program. This does not include the speakers/trainers that we already have lined up! If you are looking for an accelerator program focused only on construction tech, applications are currently open! We bring in customers from across the entire supply chain, so you can get feedback on what you're building from different companies and different stakeholders. I can't express how important this is. The construction process is highly risk averse, yet requires working with many stakeholders to deliver a project. In order to build a tool for the industry, the startup must understand the inner workings of their customer base and who they work with adjacently. You can apply for the program here: https://lnkd.in/g9fQHY5J We will start announcing the trainers for the program soon.. stay tuned! You can learn about the topics here: https://lnkd.in/gn47rAdA If you are interested in becoming a mentor, sign up here: https://lnkd.in/gW2wVm7w Please share this with your networks and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

If you haven’t heard, we are running the Formwork Labs accelerator program again in Spring 2024! Applications open on November 20, 2023 on our website. Formwork Labs is an accelerator program focused on entrepreneurs and innovators in the construction industry. A sneak preview of the program can be found here: https://lnkd.in/exCdcDp3 Because our industry’s challenges are complex and unlike any other, we had to create a program focused just on construction tech. We have topics that are specific to building and scaling construction technology startups across the entire supply chain. A large part of the program is connecting the cohort with customers for product feedback and/or PoC/pilot projects. We strive to bring together all people who are passionate about moving the construction industry forward and be a collaborative community for all stakeholders and corporations. Many thanks to the incredible group of mentors who supported the last two programs. If you are interested in getting involved in this upcoming program, please fill out this form: https://lnkd.in/g-iaQCxY Big shout out to our 2023 cohort: Airtasks, MANGxO.io, Pelles.ai, Segue, and Veristart Technologies Inc.
