Note: This is a Re-Release of an episode that was originally released on BitBuilders. "We were embarrassed by our first product, and that's exactly how it should be."

In today's episode of BitBuilders, we had Kevin Albert, co-founder and CEO of Canvas, and we got to learn about the challenges of bringing robotics to construction, the importance of focusing on customer pain points, and the journey from government grants to commercial success.

Tune in to find out about:

✅ Why being embarrassed by your first product is a good sign

✅ The importance of reducing lead times in hardware development

✅ How to find and nurture customer champions for your product

✅ The value of data-driven insights in improving customer experience

Listen now on Spotify to hear Kevin's insights on building a successful construction robotics company and the future of automation in the industry.
