A story about destroying your own work—and creating what lastsThis episode is for sales-led SaaS founders who suspect their product is slowly becoming a custom shop—and don't know how to stop it.Bassem Hamdy, CEO and Co-Founder of Briq, has spent 25 years in construction technology—three software revolutions, three companies.He says Briq found product market fit every 24 months. Each time meant tearing something down to build the next version.Each time, the same thing triggered the rebuild — the company had started solving for individual customers instead of the market.And this inspired me to invite Bassem to my podcast. We explore why the instinct to please your biggest customers creates exactly the kind of fragility that kills companies. Bassem shares hard lessons about killing a product he spent two years building, the moment his QA team exposed how far the company had drifted, and why domain expertise—not platform size—determines who wins in vertical AI.We also zoom in on two of the 10 traits that define remarkable software companies: – Acknowledge you cannot please everyone – Master the art of curiosityBassem's journey proves that remarkable companies refound themselves before the market forces them to.Here's one of Bassem's quotes that captures what happens when a company starts drifting:"Software is like jello. You slap that thing, it's going to shake the hell out of it. So the moment you inject that code, that's client specific, you're pooched."By listening to this episode, you'll learn:Why saying yes to customers can turn your product into something nobody else wantsWhen to check whether your team is building a product or managing client ticketsWhy deep domain expertise matters more than platform size in the age of AIHow one metric—revenue per employee—changes every decision a CEO makesFor more information about the guest from this week: Guest: Bassem Hamdy, CEO and Co-Founder of Briq Website: briq.com
Bassem took Briq from a failed data idea to a Series B leader in construction financial automation.But the path wasn't linear. In this episode, Bassem reveals how he pivoted to RPA bots, why he killed a high-growth fintech product to survive the 2023 cash crunch, and how he uses a relentless "Go-to-Market" strategy. He breaks down his exact ABM playbook, why he hates trade shows, and why he believes AI orchestration is a bigger shift than the cloud.Why You Should ListenHow to identify the "Challenger" who will kill your deal.Why trade shows are a waste of money (and what to do instead).The "1-Person Webinar" hack to close high-value accounts.The brutal reality of cutting 50% of staff to survive.Why selling "risk reduction" beats selling "time saved."Keywordsstartup podcast, startup podcast for founders, product market fit, account based marketing, construction tech, go to market strategy, enterprise sales, finding pmf, robotic process automation, ai orchestration00:00:00 Intro00:06:23 The RPA "Aha" Moment with a Tech Giant00:11:52 Selling Risk vs. Selling Time Saved00:13:27 The "New CFO" Signal in Account Based Marketing00:17:06 Identifying the "Challenger" in Enterprise Sales00:23:22 The 1-Person Webinar Strategy00:29:19 Killing the Fintech Product to Survive 202300:36:20 Why You Never Truly Have Product Market FitSend me a message to let me know what you think!
The future of the construction industry, more specifically how money flows within construction. In it we cover topics such financial automation from the CFO office right down to the job site, the move from a backwards looking workflow to a real-time and predictive one, as well as the industry tailwinds accelerating overall technology adoption of a $15T segment of the global economy. Bassem Hamdy is founder and CEO of Briq, a next generation financial platform to make construction projects more profitable. Briq, a 150 person tech company out of Santa Barbara, commands a significant share of US construction firms as its customers and now has expanded internationally. The industry uses Briq to gain visibility over the flow of money on a project in order to make better planning decisions and predict profits more confidently. Bassem is a rare breed, he's been in construction software for over two decades, before it was cool and before there was even an industry around it. First seeing the introduction of resource planning software at CMIC (which now handles over $100B in construction revenue each year) to then being EVP of Enterprise Strategy at Procore (a now public company) helping construction transition to the cloud. Today we get to talk about what the next evolution is. He's also one of the very few that can speak construction as authentically as he speaks technology. Subscribe for the latest episodes.
