We’re grateful for how the Blood, Blisters & Tech event came together today during Utah Tech Week. Shaun Merritt kicked things off with a little hands on tool competition (because of course we did), then Lee Chang into a panel conversation with builders, operators, and industry pros who actually live this work every day. The panel brought real perspectives from the field into a room full of people thinking about construction, tech, and the next generation. Huge thanks to the panel: Stefan Grunkemeier Jared💡 Kotter Nate Livingston Zach Gordon Sandy Larsen Thanks to everyone who showed up curious builders, technologists, homeowners, and our sponsor Sunpro Corporation. See you next year. #Ruck #ConTech #UtahTechWeek
Ruck hosted the only construction tech event of Utah Tech Week last year. This year, Ruck’s “Blood, Blisters, & Tech” event, sponsored by Sunpro Corporation, was accompanied by a few more contech events from other startups - we couldn’t be happier about the growing awareness of the need for tech in this $1.6 trillion industry. Our Milwaukee Tool v DEWALT v Ryobi v Makita U.S.A., Inc. competition yielded Milwaukee as the overall winner in speed and performance, but DeWalt walloped the red leader in assembly and intuitive user experience in our super official, super endorsed, uber-scientific competition, ultra controlled competition. After the matchup, we feature a panel of experienced, boots-on-the-ground, calloused builders bringing their knowledge and life story to the tech world of white collar software engineers. The space at anata was perfect and located centrally to Utah Tech Week. Thanks to everyone that came and everyone involved a particularly to Sunpro Corporation for their continued support and sponsorship. AND - shoutout to Shaun Merritt for doing this whole thing for a $0 budget - we wanted to honor the grassroots culture tha Trent Mano imbued both Convoi Ventures and Utah Tech Week with. It’s a week of events for startups of all sizes and stages.
