Dustin DeVan

## Key Points - CEO at Ediphi since 2023, focused on pre-construction cost - Background: was a project engineer at R&S, then started Building Connected when PlanGrid started; post-exit invested; was VC for 8 months at Suffolk; board of Bridgit; invested in PermitFlow - Raised seed and Series A with $0 revenue for Building Connected — "People want a story. Easier to raise on conviction than $100k revenue" - Fundraising advice: email VCs, be very conservative about 3-6 month goals, then show up with results - Wants to own cost end-to-end: from concept, to takeoffs, through the project lifecycle - "Millions spent on a project in SF without people knowing" ## Pain Points Mentioned - Cost visibility across the project lifecycle is broken - Needs: rooms, square feet, floors, categorizing rooms from drawings ## Product Feedback - Rooms and square footage extraction is a core need for their cost platform - Potential API integration or design partnership ## Next Steps - Schedule in-person coffee in SF to demo current capabilities
