Salar al Khafaji - founder and CEO of Monumental.
At Monumental they are developing a suite of autonomous, electric robots which can work around the clock so everyone can afford a high-quality house or apartment in a beautiful city or village.
Last year they’ve raise a 23M Eur round from Hummingbird, Northzone, Plural and other investors with the mission to make construction primarily software-defined and work towards a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings are built within a single day with minimal labor.
Prior to Monumental, Salar built and sold the data company Silk to Palantir.
During this episode we discuss about the construction market and how it is the only industry the productivity has decreased, his mistakes from his first business Silk, and the biggest current bottleneck at Monumental.
Enjoy!
