## Key Points
- From Bulgaria, 27 years old
- Building horizontal systems on top of BIM 360
- QA/QC focused
- Hired the first head of sales from PlanGrid; keeps in touch with Tracy (Young)
- Building engineering team in US for data center work (government jobs require US-based engineers)
- Have a fine-tuned visual language model with clever data processing approaches — wants to dig into technical details
- Self-funded for a year, hired two engineers; pre-seed was very hard to get
- Eventually raised seed after validation, hired sales leader from PlanGrid, now hiring in US
## Product Feedback
- Fundraising advice: "If you get a check, take the check"
- Had a hard time raising — "wasn't natural and easy"
- Potential peer/collaborator in the BIM QA/QC space rather than a customer
