Alexei, Josh Whisenant
## Key Points
- Raised $3.5M, burned through it, then did a pivot to services
- Services business went from $0 to $2M in bookings, is profitable
- Wants to see if he can grow staying away from VCs
- Takes 35-40 hours for a project manager to deliver their service offering
- Was nervous talking to Alexei (potential competitor overlap)
- Interested in partnering — either via API or potentially hiring Alexei as engineer
## Pain Points Mentioned
- Needs: symbol detection on drawings with counts
- Square footage extraction, especially of different shaded areas
- Filtering noise: which notes to NOT look at — lots of irrelevant content on drawings
