We are in the construction industry. Look around you. We all live, work, and play in constructed places. I’ve spent my career being successful in the "as is" construction industry, where there is massive inefficiency, waste, and bias. We need a new approach now more than ever, with knee-buckling inflation, economic and geopolitical uncertainty, and a disappearing workforce. Most see a construction project and think big equipment or towering cranes - I see a construction concert with people coming together to create and build something new. Old think is about process and tools. My thinking is to use data and AI to help bring the right orchestra of people together, with diverse backgrounds and strengths to create better places for all.
We ran many early product-market fit experiments with construction leaders, and the overwhelming majority of them told us lack of effective teams is their biggest barrier. They also told us the areas they want to solve. Construction industry research also confirms that team performance is the key factor related to project success vs failure.
Stack.ai is an AI-enabled SaaS platform that helps create, predict, and sustain diverse, top-performing teams who will drive improved project performance. We provide products to model the right team, monitor impacts of team dynamics and team member changes on project outcomes, and pursue the right action items to improve team performance.
We released our first product, Team Success Predictor as a Minimum Viable Product for customer testing and now are addressing the results of that testing – primarily addressing UX issues and increased functionality.
We’ve done some really wonderful programs: Harvard, Strategyzer, IBM Mass Challenge. Through them, we’ve built a strong Minimum Viable Community of construction leaders. Many have now tested our MVP, are giving us data, and are committing to our paid pilots!
We will run our pilots on Team Success Predictor, then finalize our alpha and beta versions, then go to our targeted market. We are also developing our second product, Strategy Minder.
