Welcome to another episode of Category Visionaries — the show that explores GTM stories from tech's most innovative B2B founders. In today's episode, we're speaking with Marco Herbst, CEO of Evercam, a construction video platform that has raised €12.8 Million in funding.
Here are the most interesting points from our conversation:
- Evolution of Evercam: Initially starting with IP cameras for general purposes, Evercam found its niche in the construction industry, creating a reality capture platform to improve construction productivity.
- Importance of Reality Capture: Evercam uses various technologies like drones, 360-degree cameras, and AI to provide continuous, high-resolution video of construction sites, enabling better project visibility and communication.
- Convergence of Technologies: The simultaneous maturity of multiple technologies like drones, IoT sensors, and AI has significantly benefited Evercam, allowing them to offer advanced solutions to the construction industry.
- Challenges in Construction Industry: Construction is traditionally slow to adopt new technologies due to high risk and low reward for innovation. Evercam addresses this by providing a low-risk, high-reward solution that improves project outcomes.
- Global Reach and Impact: Evercam works with major global brands like Intel, UPS, and Microsoft, applying their learnings from one project to others across different continents, enhancing construction practices worldwide.
- Future Vision: Evercam aims to be the category creator in reality capture, impacting predictive construction and improving future building processes based on comprehensive data collected from past projects.
