Why is Co-founder / CTO Search is so hard for construction tech startups?

Updated: Dec 19, 2022

Hello Buttress Fans, I'll make no secret that it's been a tough road to find the right co-founding team for Buttress. There are a few reasons for this, one is that there has been a very tight labour market and a red hot market for technology professionals particularly. But the other factor is that construction tech is not that exciting to most software developers.......Yet!!!

The potential is there, Construction makes other industries look like a small change and it is nonetheless a forgotten market in tech, I have spoken to many people and they don't really seem aware of the opportunity, and it just doesn't seem exciting right?

This will change - no doubt the taxi industry felt like a tech wasteland at some point until companies like Uber changed the rules, Buttress and other companies in the construction tech space are going to do just that. I'm setting a deadline - by end of Jan 2023 Buttress will have a cofounding team one way or another. We want the right team first and foremost, and we're happy to speak to perspective CTO's, CMO's or CFO's, really and truly - the right team first, the right qualification later. if you're interested just email mat@buttress.com.au with "I'm a potential Buttress team member" in the subject line.
