"I started Integrated Projects with $12,000 in what I thought was emergency funds. Looking back, probably the silliest decision." - Jose Cruz

In today's episode of Bricks & Bytes, we had Jose Cruz of Integrated Projects (IPX) sharing his journey from bootstrapping to raising venture funding.

Tune in to find out about:

✅ How growing up in his parents' pizza shop gave Jose a "cheat code" for understanding business

✅ The problem with building documentation (8 out of 10 landlords start projects with inaccurate as-built drawings)

✅ How IPX is revolutionizing Scan-to-BIM technology by combining 3D scanning and modeling

✅ Why Jose bootstrapped for 5 years before raising capital ($12K savings to $1.2M revenue)

Listen to the full conversation to learn how IPX is scaling to meet the challenge of digitizing 1.6 billion existing buildings worldwide:
