Welcome to KP Unpacked , the #1 podcast in AEC.
In this episode, KP Reddy and Jeff Echols unpack a movement that's flipping tech, venture, and entrepreneurship on its head: vibe coding.
What started as a LinkedIn post sparked one of the most active polls in Catalyst history, and it turns out, 73% of this high-performing AEC community is already doing it.
They dive into:
- Why vibe coding is displacing CRMs (and entire startups)
- How a skeptical sales exec built a GC-specific CRM in 20 hours
- What this shift means for tools, venture capital, and the next era of startups
- Why early adopters will always win, even if it's messy
Plus, KP shares his private equity wine-country story, a bold new startup funding model (no VC required), and how the team might be accidentally launching a hackathon.
