Ep.37 - Franco Giaquinto, CEO at Outbuild

Outbuild founder Franco Giaquinto on the journey from Argentina to building construction scheduling software for general contractors—why he bets on practical over shiny, staying honest with investors, and life after the Series A.

Prepare to explore:

  • The founder's story — Franco's path from Argentina and Chile to the Bay Area, and how Outbuild grew out of his first startup, a "Procore for Latin America".
  • What drives the mission — why making a dent in one of the world's largest, ever-evolving industries beats chasing the easy money.
  • Practical over shiny — why Outbuild builds tools the whole bell curve can adopt today instead of lab-grade AI most contractors can't yet use.
  • Advice for early-stage founders — do real market research, add value from day one, stay in your own lane, and don't get distracted by LinkedIn raise announcements.
  • Honesty with investors and the Series A — why he lifts the hood from the first meeting, and where the new funding goes: engineering, sales, marketing, and the infrastructure to scale.
