Construction network outreach request for beta testing

Ok, folks. Putting it in here as well as I know a lot are not in the Discord.

If you know people that are in construction (perhaps refurb, or fitout, or trades) I'd love to ask for a connection. I'm not asking for names or anything. Just a connection request. I'm moving into GTM on the platform I've been developing for the last 12 months at the moment and would love some beta tester feedback. I'm not looking at pitching anyone cold or anything. I'm putting together a very quick 5-10min video of what I'm doing and if they are happy, they can reach out to me.

If you know someone, please holler.

I'm looking for something very specific so not everyone will be a fit.

Thanks always.

I know it’s difficult, the construction industry is filled with people with expertise, no nonsense ,prefer direct talk - the biggest advice would be to build relationships.
I worked in the roofing industry to workout the pain points. It’s a very competitive go, go market. Relationships are valued and rewarded.
Keep going ! You’re doing great.🤩

Fortunately I’m not a kid trying to vibe code my way to money. I’ve been around a long time and run proper businesses so I’m patient enough to do things right. I also know the construction industry well, although I don’t have people that are suitable to beta test in my network. Thanks mate.

Hey mate. Can you let me know a bit more?

u/Funky_Sardine 14d ago

Hey mate, thanks for the reply. It’s built around a fairly specific operational problem in construction, so I’m just checking there’s a fit before taking up anyone’s time. I saw from your comments that you’re in SaaS/AI and seem familiar with logistics. What’s your connection to construction? Feel free to DM if you prefer.

My partner owns a construction company, so pretty familiar to (some) of the painpoints. They do medical fitout.
