Welcome back to KP Unpacked, the #1 podcast in AEC!
In this episode, KP Reddy sat down with Ahmad Omar, founder of Slate, also our Mastermind member, to discuss the new wave of entrepreneurship sweeping through the AEC industry. Ahmad shares his journey of leaving a large firm to start his own, highlighting how today's technology, including AI, has shattered traditional barriers to entry for new companies.
This conversation delves into why the rigid, slow-moving systems of the past are no longer a fit for today's innovators. Ahmad explains how Slate differentiates itself through speed and personal relationships, challenging the conventional wisdom of large firms. They also explore the future of the industry, from the potential for AI to be a "great equalizer" to the end of archaic practices like timesheets and multi-phased project billing.
