What happens when a surfer-turned-startup-CEO tackles one of the world’s most entrenched supply chain problems?
In this episode of Pitch, Build, Scale, we sit down with Kathleen Egan, CEO of ecomedes, to explore how sustainability, SaaS, and systems thinking converge to reshape how commercial buildings are designed, sourced, and built.
Kathleen shares how ecomedes is streamlining the procurement and specification of green building products, helping everyone from sales reps to federal agencies save time, reduce emissions, and cut costs. Along the way, we dive into the future of AI in sustainability, startup bottlenecks, and why spreadsheets are killing collaboration.
If you’ve ever wondered what product-market fit looks like for early adopters of sustainability or how to scale without breaking the bank, this is one you don’t want to miss.
